He may not be Steph Curry, as Kings management hopes he becomes, but the fact is Buddy Hield is playing solid basketball for Sacramento.
His shooting has vastly improved ever since he came over as part of the trade that sent DeMarcus Cousins to New Orleans. After shooting 39.2 percent in 57 games in a New Orleans Pelicans jersey, Hield is shooting 48.9 percent from the field as a member of the Kings. As a King, he has bumped up his scoring average to 14.4 points per game, bringing his season total to 10.0, good for fourth among rookies.
