Like the pick, but I wanna hear some hyperbole. Mine: Buddy Hield is gonna be New Orleans Kobe.

Best Pels two-guard since Eric Gordon.

I think he'll be a solid to very good starter

That's probably his ceiling

I don't see him ever being an all-star

The good thing is i don't see his floor being all that low. He's a pretty sure thing imo

I think It was a solid pick. Like others said, about as close to a sure thing as you can get in the NBA draft.

Well I mean we haven't really had many 2 guards, so Buddy can be the goat SG for us

Is this Hield pick fapworthy? Admittedly I do not know much about him

Buddy's actually got some tough ears to fill.

I can tell you this: he won't film AD bragging about banging 19 yr old whores, then leak it online like a damn rat bastard. He's the perfect teammate.

I've been opposed to taking Hield from the getgo. Compared to Murray, neither can play D but i think Murray has the higher ceiling (though my hope was for Dunn). That said, he'll be instant impact player. The league is moving towards having an assassin behind the arc being a necessity.

Will him being undersized and his defensive shortcomings force him to be a career sixth man? We'll see.

I truly hope I'm wrong about him.

I don't think he's any better than Marcus Thornton and look how the Pelicans used him?

Best case scenario... we drafted Steph Curry 2.0

I'm only half-joking.

I'm coming around. Being so close to Dunn just caused me to crash hard

If Holiday stays healthy it makes this pick make way more sense for us

That's a pretty big if though

He is another Steph Curry. Deadly from behind the arc and just athletic enough to not be a liability on defense. He is the pick I had targeted in this draft from the start. Only player I had rated higher was Ingram. Unreal that we were lucky enough for him to fall into our laps with all the bad luck this franchise has typically incurred is just an amazing shift in fortunes.

It would've cool to have a guy named "Dragon Bender" on our team, tho.

Buddy schooled LSU last season while Simmons stood around and watched.
