The comp with McCollum is ridiculous, not nearly as smooth and crafty with the ball, McCollum moves much more naturally.
Buddy tends to stop, think and go, and when he moves he does it with decision and fast, but that hesitation is going to be seen miles ahead in the next level, I doubt he is ever more than a one drive, pull-up shooter guy.
If thats all you bring, along with okay D, you really need to excell at that, and like I said I have my reservations with some of that.
Buddy is bigger than McCollum and a much better shooter coming out, all I said is I like him more as a prospect and McCollum went 10th. Wasn't comparing their games, just saying there is no way Buddy is going in the 20's that's just ridiculous. Buddy looks to be at worst a good 3+D guy, something that every team needs
The big advantage McCollum had on Hield is his quickness and ball handling. McCollum is much more shiftier and his handles are much much better than Hield's. That combination allows McCollum to be able to create his shot on this level. I dont think Hield will be able to create his shot on a consistent bases in the NBA. Right now I think he is just going to be a really good shooter that runs off screens
He undoubtedly has a better handle, I dont think he is quicker and he definitely is not faster than Hield though. Hield is also bigger, longer, better defender, and a better shooter. I dont know how anyone can think his shooting is not legit either, nobody can put the ball in the net the way he does and not be a legit shooter. Jesus. just watch how he puts the ball in the net from the foul line, how can you not see it, look at his percentages if the eye test doesnt work for you, 90% from the line, and over 50% from 3, it is undeniable, especially when the stat line matches up with what were seeing.
CJ may be better at getting his own shot with the ball in his hand, sure, but he is also a smaller player and should be playing at the point guard position with his stature. Hield is the type of player who is going to be able to fit in with any team and he is going to have to be accounted for at all times on the floor. Real dangerous player, he isnt a number 1 option, McCollum could be but do you really think a team with McCollum as their number 1 is winning anything? I dont. McCollum is a real nice 6th man to me, very valuable player but I dont know that he even should be on the floor with his type of game and stature in crunch time on a championship team. I do believe there is a place for Hield in crunch time though on a championship team. Different roles, I think they both are very good at there own. I would lean toward the guy I can play in crunch time though that fits in any lineup.
