He was 1-10 last night.
Teams are guarding him the way they guard JJ Redick or Klay Thompson, and it's hurt his percentages overall this preseason and through the first three games.
Buddy Buckets has been trash this season. I hate it for him, and I hope he turns it around soon. He deserves the pine time.
The Fox kid is a player though.
Maybe we shouldn't jump to conclusions based on two weeks and a handful of games. I mean, he bounced back from a tough first month last season and made first-team All Rookie. Sucks to see him struggle, but something tells me he hasn't lost the ability to shoot the ball. Tonight's performance might jumpstart him.
I'm not sure there's any other conclusion that can be drawn other than to say he's been dreadful.
FG - 38.7%
3PT - 25.7%
Buddy has played nearly 192 minutes this year for the Kings, and Sacramento is -81 in that stretch. Not good.
He's scored 89 points thus far, but it's taken him 93 shots. Very inefficient!
Be better, Buddy! Find other ways to contribute!
I believe Buddy started out 6/6 against OKC tonight and has 15 points with 5 minutes left to go in the first half. Promising.
He finished 7-9 (4-4 from 3-pt range) and led the Kings with 21 points. They overcame a 17-point deficit to beat the OKC Thunder...I'm guessing there are a few fans on this board with "mixed emotions" after that game.
