In the first year of his lucrative contract extension, Buddy Hield has had an eventful season for the Sacramento Kings. The most significant event has been the transition from starting guard to sixth man — a role where Hield has found success — trade request murmurs aside.
The guard has started in 44 out of the 64 games he has played in and has played well off the bench, helping give this team a much-needed spark. The Kings seem rejuvenated since the move, playing like an entirely new basketball team with Hield leading the second unit.
