I like the Ben Gordon comparison for his peak.


Buddy is nearly 3 inches taller than Gordon.

I just think it could be a similar type game. Didn't mean he was a clone.

I like the Ben Gordon comp. I hadn't heard that one before, but the skill set makes sense regardless of height. It certainly is more logical than the Wade talk here.

Of course the obvious comp that no Pels will make is a version of 14-16 Eric Gordon

For whoever cane up with this comparison. You do realize Wade with a 3pt shot is a top 5 player of all time correct.

Jumping does mean athletic. Babbit had a 40inch vert and Reke can barely jump over a phone book but who is more athletic?

That can't be true or one of my favorite images of all time is fake.

You watch those highlights and some of those drives are into wide open lanes because of illegal defense rules. Game has changed in a big way

All about handle for Hield on offense. If he develops better ball skills, he has the potential to be a very good offensive player.

CBS, NBA.com, Fansided, and ESPN all had Buddy as the best shooter hands down in this draft. ESPN even went as far as to call him the most dynamic shooter since Steph.


Bleacher report had him 5th in his class

nb4- Yeah yeah we all know BR sucks

You guys aren't realizing what I'm asking:

I am asking Can Buddy be a D. Wade who can shoot the 3?
It's pretty obvious they aren't the same player right now.

cuz they are nothing alike. Wade is twice as explosive and quick. Its just nothing the same. Its like asking if KD could be LeBron with a shot

False, KD Doesn't have the same body type so he could never be.

And D Wade isn't twice as quick. Buddy is a pretty athletic dude.
