Is there ever a good reason to be labeled thirsty?
Opinion
There is if you’re Buddy Hield. Now it’s up to the Kings to make sure he’s not dehydrated.
Hield’s thirst is necessary for the Kings to have a consistent source of potent offense, and that won’t happen if he’s passive.
The thirst comes with risks. There will be times when Hield launches a shot and you cringe at the degree of difficulty. You’ll wonder if he saw an open teammate (one you can see, of course, on a television screen) when he chooses to put up another shot.
