Sacramento Kings: Buddy Hield – A Gift & A Curse

There have been plenty of adjustments that have been made by the Sacramento Kings players and coaches this season, but maybe none more so than Buddy Hield.

He enjoyed a career year during the 2018-’19 season in which he made 278 three pointers, the third highest single-season total of anyone not named Stephen Curry. His ascension from role player to valuable asset was sudden, and the Kings ponied up the money to keep him in Sacramento long term. Hield signed a four-year, $94 million contract extension before the start of the season, a nice reward for a player who was thought to be a crucial piece to the Kings young core and current rebuild.
