There is a real case that Buddy Hield is the 2nd-best 3-point shooter in the NBA.
Outside of Steph, there are only 12 times in history where a player has averaged 40% from 3 on at least 8 3PA/G for a season.
Buddy has AVERAGED 40.3% from 3 on 8.3 3PA/G OVER THE LAST SIX SEASONS

I think some people are failing to realize the echelon the Buddy Hield is in when it comes to shooting a basketball

The Pacers moving Buddy Hield is the best way to open up playing time for Bennedict Mathurin and Andrew Nembhard!

The Bucks, Mavs, Raptors, Magic, Lakers, Heat, Pistons, man — pretty much any team could use a Buddy Hield.
It’s just a matter of what it takes to acquire a 30-year-old sharpshooter on an expiring deal.
