The way Hield is playing at Summer League should help set expectations

It’s true. Summer League Hield hasn’t been pretty. I know some people have been pretty upset by the spectacle of Hield jacking and missing to the tune of 34%. I get it.

But, it doesn’t really bother me.

I could make a lot of excuses. The Pels Summer League crew appears pretty devoid of talent. Hield is a name – and guys fighting for their careers will gun for names. Almost every defense has been switching everything on Hield like he was Steph Curry. It’s hard to put in place an offense that generates open looks in only two days of training camp.
