Weaknesses: Buddy’s main knock will be his height for an NBA shooting guard, and although he’s improved his handle significantly in order to become more of a combo guard, he’s still not more of an undersized 2 ... Buddy handles the ball a lot, and carries a great offensive burden for the Sooners, as a result he can be turnover prone at times (10 TO’s vs Oklahoma State) ... Buddy has clearly worked to improve his game off the dribble, and now takes less than 50% of his shots from deep, in favor of driving to the hoop to keep defenders guessing ... In reality, this is a player who has clearly worked very hard at not just what he does well, but his flaws, and as a result, he’s become a very complete player, that’s hard to nitpick outside of some physical differences between the size of NCAA players and those in the NBA ...



Athleticism is a question mark too

upside

is his potential maxed out? how will that translate into the NBA, if so. Wouldn't be the first guy who could shoot whose game didnt translate

i like to compare to Ben McClemore, who is the same age as Hield. McClemore was lights out as a freshman and has better athleticism than Hield. BMC would be a senior in this draft if he stayed in college. He's not a good NBA player
