Philadelphia 76ers fans wanted to like Buddy Hield really bald.y They wanted to trust him every night to provide scoring pop for the team,a and they wanted him to be the kind of depth scorer who helps teams in the postseason.
That, unfortunately, didn't really happen. Hield is a notoriously streaky shooter, and was even more streaky than usual in his half-season with the team. By the time the playoffs rolled around for those Sixers, Hield was basically out of the lineup. Kind of sad, considering it was his first postseason ever.
Now in his second season with the Warriors after a successful first campaign, Warriors fans are seeing firsthand just how streaky Hield can be — like he did in Philly, he's unfortunately shot himself out of the rotation in a meaningful way, playing just 28 minutes total in the past two games.
