[Saba Sports News] Buddy Hield can’t stop making history. After scoring 20+ points in under 15 minutes in his Warriors debut, he set a record just 48 hours later by draining seven triples in Golden State’s 127-86 blowout over the Jazz, marking the most threes in a player’s first two games with a new team.
Golden State saw Hield’s potential right away, making him the sixth man in their 12-man rotation. Known for his shooting, Hield has also impressed with his energy and chemistry with teammates.
“It was incredible watching him,” said Coach Steve Kerr. “He brings energy, joy, and sets a tone beyond just his shooting.”
Hield’s stat line was filled out with four rebounds, six assists, and a steal alongside his 27 points on 10-of-14 shooting.
His defensive hustle and versatility add even more to his Sixth Man of the Year candidacy, and with his role secure, he’s a major asset for the Warriors’ championship push.
