It didn’t take long for Buddy Hield to win Sacramento’s hearts after the DeMarcus Cousins trade. After disappointing in New Orleans, Buddy came to Sacramento and started doing what he does best: getting buckets.
Buddy’s leap in his third year has been nothing short of incredible. We already knew he could shoot the ball, but he’s gotten better at almost every aspect of his game. He’s leading the Kings in scoring, minutes played and is on pace to break Peja Stojakovic’s franchise record for threes made in a season. He’s already joined Mitch Richmond and Peja as the only Kings ever to hit 200+ threes in a year, and we’ve got 19 games left.
