Kings swingman Buddy Hield has changed his representation, signing with Icona Agency’s Diana Day, per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports (Twitter link). Hield had previously been represented by Brandon Rosenthal of Landmark Sports Agency.
During the 2019 offseason, Hield inked a four-year, $86MM rookie contract extension with Sacramento. The deal also included $20MM in certain contract incentives, tied in to All-Star and NBA Finals appearances. He’s in the second year of that contract, which will expire in 2024.
Hield is enjoying a strong individual season with the Kings as a reserve shooting guard. He is averaging 17.1 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 2.1 SPG and 0.9 SPG. Through 14 contests for the 2021/22 season, Hield is shooting .421/.408/.833.
The 6’4″ wing was selected with the sixth pick in the 2016 draft out of Oklahoma by the Pelicans, and was a key part of the trade that sent DeMarcus Cousins to New Orleans.
As of this writing, the 6-8 Kings remain squarely in the hunt for a Western Conference play-in spot. Sacramento is currently the 10th seed in the West.
Lakers should’ve traded for him and not Russ. Need his shooting and scoring
He’d be a huge asset for any contender with his 40.6% shooting from three.
Yep. Seen a stat that said he has like the second highest catch and shoot 3pt % in nba history
For some unknown reason Buddy is a much hated & maligned player by fans, but the guy is pretty good.
No doubt he is one of the top 5 shooters in the league, no argument there, & his contract is fairly team friendly, just hope SAC gets rid of Luke Walton, so a new competent HC comes in, hopefully & pairs again Fox & Hield as the starting backcourt, Haliburton & Mitchell can handle the sixth & seventh man duties!
He isnt good on defense and puts up 12 3’s a game whether they are falling or not. When he is hot he can win you a game. When he isn’t he will be a big reason you lose. Definitely should not be a starter.
Career 40% from three, shooting usually 7/8 attempts a game.
By career percentage is the 29th most efficient shooter from 3 and 10th among active players
I think he should start
