AMES, Iowa — For the last day or so, the debate has been Giannis Antetokounmpo vs. Zach LaVine. More specifically, the debate is which of those two players you’d prefer to take a game-winning shot. Someone on Instagram posited the question, and when someone posits an interesting question in just about any forum, Tyrese Haliburton starts to think about it. And most of the time he decides that everyone else at Iowa State should think about and discuss that question too. It doesn’t really matter if you have an opinion on the matter or wish to consider it. You are going to hear from Tyrese Haliburton.



So in this particular argument, simmering over a couple of days of preseason prep at the Sukup Basketball Complex, he grants that Giannis is an amazing player. Obviously. But, Haliburton notes, it’s a last-second shot we’re talking about. That means you’re probably getting to a mid-range look. And in that case, isn’t LaVine a better option?
