Buddy Hield proved to be far more than just a throw-in during his first two months as a Pacer. While Indiana's six-player deal with Sacramento at the trade deadline was viewed largely through the lens of acquiring second-year guard Tyrese Haliburton as the team's point guard of the future, the Pacers also landed another player capable of making a significant impact in Hield.
