These are not the quality of highlights I expected when I saw “Buddy Hield” in the boxscore with a little “18” in the points column. I knew he didn’t make many threes, but I was anticipating an avalanche of swaggy midrange jumpers in their stead.
I hope you like layups.
I mean, there’s nothing inherently WRONG with layups. Two points is two points. But this is Buddy Hield we’re talking about it. He scores with jumpers, not layups. Swaggy jumpers. If I wanted layups I would have made Omer Asik highlights at about a million times higher rate than normal.
Even the three Buddy Buckets made sucked. It didn’t go in the next smoothly like a satisfying three would. My wait for satisfactory Hieldlights in the NBA continues.
