Buddy Hield isn’t shy about letting it fly from outside. If his current pace holds or increases, he’ll find himself in the franchise record books.
The third-year shooting guard has hit 134 3-pointers as the Kings (20-21) have reached the halfway point of the regular season. He’s on pace for 268 makes from outside the arc, which would comfortably surpass the franchise single-season record.
The current mark is 240, set in 2003-04 by Peja Stojakovic, who is now one of the team’s assistant general managers.
Hield is averaging 7.3 3-point attempts per game this season, but his efficiency is also up.
