The other rookie of the month for the Eastern Conference was Dario Saric from the Philadelphia 76ers.
This is the second time this season where Buddy was awarded this honor. The first time it happened was last year in December when he was playing for the New Orleans Pelicans.
Thoughts
In my opinion, Buddy definitely earned this honor. In the month of March, Buddy was exceptional for the Kings on the offensive end of the floor as he averaged 14.1 points a game while shooting 48.3% from the floor, 42.5% from the perimeter, and 84% from the free-throw line in the 16 games that he played in.
