The fate of New Orleans Pelicans rests in Buddy Hield's hands

It's tough to be a small market team these days. It seems that every superstar eventually leaves for greener pastures.

Not so fast. Enter Buddy Hield, the New Orleans Pelicans first round draft pick, sixth overall, in the 2016 NBA draft.
