So going into the season I felt that we shouldn’t try trade in on a “star” player as I didn’t see that elevating us to that next tier. Well the leap that Haliburton has taken might change some minds, as going out for that star might indeed elevate us into that realm.
What do you think? Has Haliburton made superstar leap that means acquiring that guy is the right idea or should we stay the course?
Personally I’m good to stay the course as I want to see what Nesmith + Toppin can do, of course Mathurin as well.
Mathurin has had his moments where he looks like that second star. Once he gets used to the pace and stops thinking too much he should look like the guy from that 2 game stretch where he killed it.
Haliburton elevates everyone around him as our #1 star. That type of offense tends to break down in the playoffs and get more iso-heavy. Haliburton can do a that some, but I think that’s when Mathurin can shine. If he can be our 2nd star in that role, that’s a very dangerous playoff team.
