With the 2016 NBA Draft approaching, what are the ideal landing spots for NCAA Tournament standout Buddy Hield?
Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield took a big leap forward in his senior season. Now, he’s looking to make the leap into the NBA and take his talents to any team that wants them.
Hield was second in the nation in scoring behind only Howard University’s James Daniel III, so considering the difference in competition, Hield was surely the best scorer in all of college basketball.
He also shot 46 percent from downtown and 88 percent from the free throw line.
Hield is obviously an adept scorer in every facet of the game, but he’s also fairly well-rounded. He can hold his own on defense and his biggest criticism is his lack of size for a shooting guard as he is just 6’5″.
