2. Buddy Hield
A team can never have enough shooting, especially in today’s NBA. The New York Knicks have begun the season as one of the top three-point shooting teams in the league. This means that Buddy Hield is a perimeter threat that would fit right into the game plan.
Hield is a career 40% shooter from beyond the arc. He likes to shoot from deep at a high rate and knows how to get open along the perimeter. The Knicks seem to have four guys on the court at all times that can shoot the ball.
The Knicks space well offensively and Buddy Hield would only add to that. He draws attention from defenses and would open up other possibilities. The Sacramento Kings have been shopping Hield for over a year now but have not pulled the trigger on a deal.
It is likely to come soon given their plan to completely blow it up. It already began with the firing of Luke Walton. Some more big moves could be coming out of Sacramento and Hield could be the first one to go.
