Hield should be the #3 pick in this draft.

He's a flat out sensational scorer.
Saw a graphic that said 45% or so of his makes are from 3. Hope he has other facets as well. So far he has all threes and a putback. Want to see some drives and some separation from defenders, not just threes.

you really have something against threes in today's NBA?

I agree, and he does the little things too. Great consolation prize after Ingram and Simmons.
maybe, but not in this game. i must be missing it all. i see uneven passing, mediocre ball handling, and some bad decisions. yes, yes, yes he can shoot like crazy. and his step back jump shot will work well in the nba.

it is the rest of his game that i find to be pedestrian.

He is a bit turnover prone (almost 3 per game), but a lot of that has to do with the double and sometimes triple-teams that he faces. He rebounds well for his position (almost 6 per game) and moves without the ball well, considering he plays almost 35 per game.

Every team in the NBA can use a guy who is lights out from deep and really good at creating looks for himself from range.  I think we're going to see that more and more.  Call it the Curry effect.

No clue how you got that from my post. I love the three ball. I just said a big portion of his game is the three ball. If that shot isn't falling, I'd like to know that he has other avenues to score.

Heck, everyone here is angry bc smart's FGA are like 35% threes. I'm just saying it's something to monitor with buddy as well.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

I understand where' you're coming from.  For Buddy to become a star, he'll need to be able to do more than just jack threes.

That said, it's not that Smart is taking 40-50% of his shots from deep per se, it's that his shot attempts are so skewed toward the perimeter even though he's a pretty terrible shooter.

Next game with 3 potential second-rounders: Diallo, Selden and Ellis, all on KU.

I'm amazed that 'Nova has NO players in DraftExpress' top 60, but the team ranks as highly and plays as well as it does.

if, god forbid, the celtics pick at #6, i would be completely on board with hield. his shot will play well with CBS coaching.

Nets beating the Pacers. That is a possibility. That's a moot issue, though as we are winning the lottery this year. ;)

He's a baller. Only player I've seen all year that makes plays and I say that's a NBA move.

The end of that Villa - Kansas game was super messy.  That's college basketball for ya.

I'm definitely biased but Malachi Richardson of Syracuse is gonna be a baller.  Already is pretty good for the college level.

*cough*  Just tore up maybe the best defense in the NCAA.  Incredible comeback.  Might have a hell of a house divided game if UNC wins too.
