The Sacramento Kings have building pieces – two of them are pictured above. BUILD AROUND THEM.

Before he was drafted, a lot of skepticism surrounded the prospect of drafting Hield. He was a 23 year-old rookie whose only real calling guard was incredible 3-point shooting that was a result of the play style of college basketball.

So when Hield struggled in New Orleans, it didn’t come as a surprise to many, but no one thought he’d struggle as much as he did early on. Then he donned the purple and black, and this happened:

Is Buddy Hield Steph Curry? No, but he can certainly make a name for himself just using his own. I think Joerger can get a lot if not the most out of Hield, and can be their SG of the future. Now, Cauley-Stein on the other hand, is just a freak.

When the Kings draft De’Aaron Fox and O.G. Anunoby they suddenly have a formidable starting 5. Speaking of that….. I haven’t gotten to the last building block, who has the best name out of them all…..

Now back to that potential starting 5…..
