For this article specifically, we will evaluate the performance of Buddy Hield. We will grade Buddy based on his offensive, defensive, and overall performances so far in the 2017-2018 season.
Offense: B
Buddy Hield has been one of the Kings’ best scorers this season. For the year, he is averaging 12.5 points a contest (ranked second on the team) while shooting 43.7% from the court, 42.5% from the three-point line, and 87% from the free-throw line.
In my mind, Hield is only effective if he is able to score. There have been times where Buddy has been a dynamic scorer due to his fire shooting, but there have also been those moments where he is ice-cold from the court and becomes a liability.
