Buddy Hield

Hield joined the Warriors this offseason and will play for his fourth team over the last four years. It all came crashing down last season for the sharpshooter in Philadelphia, who had the worst year of his career, averaging 12.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.6 threes per game. What's discouraging is that Buddy played just 25.7 minutes while taking 10.1 shots per game. Those are massive drop-offs from what we've seen in past years, with Hield averaging 31.8 minutes and 14.7 shots across the previous five years. It's unclear what sort of role he'll play for his new team, but Golden State parted ways with Klay Thompson, opening up the door for Hield to fill a major role. The only problem is that the Warriors have developed into one of the deepest teams in the league, with Brandin Podziemski, De'Anthony Melton, Kyle Anderson, Jonathan Kuminga and Andrew Wiggins all occupying minutes at the wing positions. That doesn't even take into consideration Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Hield limited to 25 minutes again. A bounce-back season could be in the cards, but there are just too many bodies to see Hield return to the stud we saw before last season.
