(EXCERPT) “Just working on floaters because you don't get as many jumpers in the NBA,” Hield said. “Pull-up jump shots because you're not going to get every three in the NBA. It's not like college. You don't get threes all day. Working on my mid-range, trying to find ways I can get better. I'm working on my handle, keeping it tight, low. The NBA is more physical, so you've got to be stronger.”
Hield has yet to pick an agent, saying that's on his agenda for next week. He said he's likely to leave Oklahoma soon after that to continue working on his game in preparation for the June draft, though he'll return in May to graduate.
“I can't leave without graduating,” Hield said. “My mom would kill me.”
