From a Baylor friend who knows his hoops:
6'4'' slim. Average quickness for high level D 1. Good defender. At the end of the the game he face-guarded Aaron Harrison near half-court and kept the ball out of his hands. Strong and quick enough to do that for 30+ seconds. He played him tight - 6'' away. Nice hands and had some steals in the tornament.
Decent outside shot. He has a nice runner. Can penetrate but didn't finish above the rim against FB Travis.
Good player but I don't know where he fits in the Big 12. Not sure he is quick enough at PG. Last night was a DDM game at both ends. So I didn't see enough of him to know if he could pull heavy duty at SG. Maybe a combo with defensive skills. Situational stopper.
He head faked/cross-overed both Harrisons a couple of times that was pretty embarassing. I didn't see that as Buddy being that superb at the move as the Harrisons' bit too hard. Very quick fisrt-step but nothing like the Harrisons in terms of body control and shifting when penetrating the lane. I think Rivals has him about right at #94.
I noticed earlier on a google search that their semi-final game in a West Coast tournament referenced a video feed hosted by a newspaper. I think it was the Santa Maria Times. I was on my phone so I didn't dig for it. You might look at that, and also take a look at the Estonian Joesaar.
I sat in front of the Crowder College Ladies team. They kept it entertaining. A couple of them hot-tubbed the night before with ''Ba-ha'' (Hield is from the Bahamas). I could dig up their emails from the Crowder JUCO site and they could tell you more about his game. Their tall blonde Brazillian center was stalking the Harrisons severely.
