Has Buddy Hield been a good addition to the Golden State Warriors? The NBA community has not been waiting around until the end of the season to pass an opinion on this. Ever since the shooting guard joined the team back in July 2024, his tenure has been a sort of a mixed bag. He had a good start to his season with the team, with Stephen Curry even praising Hield for being a “seamless transition” after Klay Thompson. At the same time, however, the player is often ridiculed for missing shots and displaying an overall offensive prowess that could have been better. Therefore, his recent performance did not do Hield any favors in stopping the criticism against him.
Despite having lost all of their last 5 games, the Brooklyn Nets squad provided tough competition to the Golden State Warriors during the recent game. After the first half, it became imperative for the Warriors to take the lead for themselves. Unfortunately, depending on Buddy Hield to make the points during the 3rd quarter’s final minute may not have been the best decision. After all, the player kept attempting shot after shot, with none of them connecting. Even though the Warriors won, Buddy Hield ended his game run by making 0 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist! And after 23 minutes of being on the court! Hield went 0-8 with his field goals, and 0-5 with his three-pointers. He did not receive any chance to make free throws.
This matchup marks the 12th time that Buddy Hield made 0 points in a game, and the 2nd time it happened while he was with the Warriors. His plus/minus rating of -11 could have been worse had his other teammates not scored well for him. Now, Hield’s recent performance has given the NBA community proof to make a major claim against the player.
