Buddy Hield was drafted with the sixth overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, when the Golden State Warriors held the 30th and final first-round pick after finishing with an NBA-best 73-9 record. So he knew when he entered the draft that he’d be playing somewhere other than the Bay Area.
But that didn’t stop him from dreaming of marrying his prolific three-point shooting skills with what was, at the time, the most modern and three-point centric offense in NBA history, led by the greatest three-point shooter in NBA history ... and quite arguably the second-greatest, too.
