In desperate need of a change, it came as a surprise when the Sacramento Kings swapped Buddy Hield out of the starting lineup for Bogdan Bogdanovic. However, the move has paid off thus far, and the team is making a stealthy run for the postseason.
Both Hield and Bogdanovic may play the shooting guard position but are in very different positions for the Kings. Hield is in the first year of a lucrative contract extension, while Bogdanovic is set to become a free agent after this season concludes.
Which made it shocking when head coach Luke Walton sent Buddy Hield to the bench in favor of Bogdan Bogdanovic in the starting lineup.
