Check out the God Jodie Meeks and how comparable his junior season is to Buddy's senior season.

I liked buddy when he was projected around 10-15 ish. I think a slightly better version of Meeks might be his downside. That's not too bad honestly if Meeks stayed healthy he's decent. At the 3-5 range I'm out on Hield.

I really hope Luwawu falls. I think he might be the international steal this year. If not there are other decent wings around our range. We have to give up a ton to move up and get buddy and it isn't worth it.

Adam Morrison, and he was just a Junior.

There is about 1-2 players every year putting up stats similar to Buuddy's.

It's not simply about stats. It's about skill that will translate and winning and doing it against top flight competition.

With other great (borderline) NBA talent around him. Hield has little.

He might not have NBA talent around him, but he has 3 good experienced senior starters playing with him who are all really good shooters too. He is playing really well, but there are players who do this every year. Hield is getting a little too much hype just for having a really good shooting year as a senior.

We can agree to disagree.

FWIW too, I think 'Nova beats them this weekend.
 
I think the players that have been named (Burke, Morrison, Meeks) had obvious flaws on offense. Bad flaws. Hield doesn't have any.
 
Also...

Jimmer's 3 pt %: 39.6% (44.0% as a junior) in a crap conference
Morrison's: 42.8% (31.1% as a sophomore) in a crap conference
Burke's: 38.4% (34.8% as a frosh)

Hield: 46.5% on 8.7 attempts per game in a great conference
 
TS% last year in college

Burke: 56.9%
Jimmer: 59.4%
Morrison: 60.5%
Hield: 67.0%...in a great conference

To compare, Steph Curry who is having an all-time great year (could be considered best ever statistically) has a TS% of 67.2%.
