Since Kevin Durant’s exit in 2019, the Warriors have sought various NBA stars, ultimately missing out on Tyrese Haliburton, who was drafted by the Sacramento Kings at No. 12 in 2020. Despite having the No. 2 pick, the Warriors prioritized James Wiseman instead of Haliburton, who impressed during pre-draft workouts and has since become a standout player for the Pacers. With hindsight, the Warriors’ decision is viewed as a significant misstep, highlighting the potential Haliburton could have brought to the team during their rebuilding phase.
