The Pacers put in a strong, well balanced effort at both ends of the floor in Game 3 to win 116-107. Not only did Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam improve from their Game 2 performances, and the team’s defense levelled up to contain OKC when it needed to, but the Pacers’ bench gave them a huge lift as well.

So now’s a good a time as any to take a look at the last decade of third overall picks and see how they’ve turned out.

Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images Surely this is what everyone wants to hear as he leads his team on an improbable Finals run. Tyrese Haliburton comes up a lot in conversation around these parts. Not just because of his ascent to an All-NBA player as he’s taken his team through two deep playoff runs, but because there was a time he was heavily featured in Sixers trade rumors.
