Official: Haliburton Declares for Draft:

[Clonefan32]

Gotta admit, at the time he was the least exciting out of Griffin, THT and Conditt. Also remember questioning what he was doing in the starting lineup when Wigginton got hurt. But it was apparent early on he was special and it's been awesome to see him climb from a bit of an afterthought recruit, to an intriguing prospect to a lottery pick all in just 2 years.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Go for the gold, Tyrese!

 

[Clonefan32]

He’s a great kid. But I doubt that will happen, he simply wasn’t here long enough.

Yes, because it's impossible to develop a tie to the University in that short of time:

What the record for NBA earnings for a Cyclone?

Here's an example of the #7 pick from last years salary

https://www.spotrac.com/nba/chicago-bulls/coby-white-31564/

I think its Kelvin Cato, although if Monte keeps it up he'll probably earn the most 5 years from now.

Tinsley got payed several times and Hornacek played forever, obviously at the rates in those days.

 

[Peter]

Can't wait for draft night. Hope he lands in a good spot with a rising team. Atlanta, Charlotte, or San Antonio would be great.

Cato made $46.6M ($65.32M adjusted for inflation in todays money)

Hornacek: $25.6M ($42.6M), just as a player. Made $6M coaching the Suns and $15M coaching the Knicks.

Tinsley: $42.7M ($52.5M)

[ISUChippewa]

Yep, I think you're totally right.

His decision hardly came as a surprise, but I got a little teary-eyed just now watching that video and knowing that we won't see that kid wearing an ISU jersey anymore.

Thanks for being a Cyclone Tyrese. Good luck making money doing what you love next season (hopefully!)

 

[ForeverIowan]

Good luck Tyrese! 100% class! You deserve everything coming your way.

Really wish we could have seen you run with Wigginton, Horton-Tucker and Lard this year. I personally think it could have been one of our best teams ever.

I will miss him. Hope he lands on an NBA team I like (please not the Bulls) and in a good situation.

he would likely start for the bulls fwiw.

hoiberg has to be up there if you combine playing and coaching like hornacek

 

[CloneGuy8]

Smart move. Who would have thought a skinny 3 star PG would turn into an NBA lottery pick in 2 years? Very happy for him. Enjoy the NBA and that 7 figure salary

 

[cyfan92]

Hoiberg has gotten $10M from Iowa State, $25M from the Bulls and just signed a $25M deal with Nebraska. All of that in a decade...

He made $10.4M as a player ($15M adjusted)

 

[RustShack]

Good thing we have a Haliburton clone(allegedly) coming in next year!

 

[awd4cy]

he would likely start for the bulls fwiw.

He would probably. If he ends up there, hopefully they at least get a new coach. Jim Boylen sucks.

Hearing TH going to the draft hits me different than guys in the recent past. This dude has done nothing but smile and bring positivity and heart each and every night we’ve seen him since he’s been here. One of the best basketball iq’s I’ve ever seen in college. So happy for him, go chase your dreams big man, you deserve it all

 

[CloneIce]

Good luck to him! Can’t wait to follow him in the NBA. I admit I was holding out a completely unreasonable hope that he would come back. But this is the right decision. I really would love to see him in the Lottery.
