Buddy Hield stock moving up

[BoulderSooner]

up to 14 on chad ford's big board (espn)

and up to #22 on draftexpress.com

Either one would be great for him. Unfortunately, the NBA draft goes way more on potential than your production in college. Otherwise, he would be top 5.

There's still plenty of room for a guy who plays all 4 years and shows that he can come in and produce right away in the NBA (i.e. Frank Kaminsky) - Sure he won't go top 5 but the way he improved his game this year shows how hard a worker he is and he still has a lot of room for growth. I think any team in that 10-20 range would be lucky as hell to get Buddy on their team

And better for buddy not going to a complete dumpster fire of a team

I think thats true for the nfl.. but in the nba i think it's best to be on a horrible team. Some of those starters for the Sixers wouldn't have ever gotten to start on legit teams.

I like C.J. McCollum as a comparison for Buddy: four-year player, size in between PG and SG, high-skill scorer. McCollum got drafted onto a Blazers team two years ago with enough depth that he could practice, catch his game up to League speed, and come off the bench supremely confident. He was hurt last year, but this season he's really coming on. He'll get paid as a free agent.

I want Buddy in the NBA for a long time. A team that values and develops his talent may not need it to start right away. Strong organizational culture matters in pro sports.
