NBA ROLE: HIGH-VOLUME OUTSIDE SCORER
Fast-talking-gunslingin’-guard Buddy Hield is a high-volume scorer from beyond the arc; Buddy brings bountiful buckets – deadly outside shooter & scorer (41% from downtown for his career) – great balance, consistent release point, deep range; more than just a sniper – Buddy works feverishly on improving his in-between game (confident in space): galloping dribble – able to create pull-ups, step backs, quick floaters, slick finishes at the rim; can he take on responsibility as a PNR playmaker? – next evolution in Hield’s game; solid defender but sometimes gets lost when covering off the ball; traded to Sixers (2024) – Hield always holds value as a perimeter scorer, whether as a starter or reserve
