6th Pick Tournament: Buddy Hield v Dragan Bender

by Ryan Schwan

This isn’t really fair. I mean, how could it be? Bender is an 18-year old kid and Buddy Hield just spent his last season chewing up a bunch of underclassmen, spitting them out, and then hitting a three in their face. Putting Bender up against him just feels mean. I mean, I don’t even think I have to pull out the big guns at this phase in the tournament. Sorry, Nick. Still, let’s say you have the sixth pick of the draft and Buddy is sitting there. Why should you pick him?

Because it’s the modern NBA.
