SPLASH BUDDY!

Through five games, the Golden State Warriors have gotten off to a hot start, winning 4 outta 5. And they’ve done it primarily without the services of Stephen Curry, greatest player alive. Who is their leading scorer during his nice streak, you ask? Why, the newly acquired Buddy Hield of course!

The 6-foot-4, 31-year old Bahamian shooting guard has had a career resurgence with the Dubs after joining them in the offseason. He’s currently averaging 21.2 points per game, shooting 49% on around 15 shots per game. He’s also a red-hot 50% from beyond the arc on a little over 9 attempts per game!

Now while it is certainly to early to compare what Hield is doing to the nuclear scoring prowess of former Warrior legend turned Dallas Maverick Klay Thompson, it’s a good sign to know that Coach Steve Kerr’s offense can still generate good looks for an eager sniper like Hield.

If Hield stays this hot, we might be looking at a potential All-Star berth for the former 2016 #6 overall pick. You know who picked him back then? The Pelicans, the team he’s been torching this season. He’s making good on the draft potential with the Warriors so far.
