Buddy Hield’s rookie season was decent when he was on the New Orleans Pelicans, but when he wore the purple and white for the last 25 games of the season, he became an offensive force as he averaged 15.1 points per game while shooting 48% from the floor and 42.8% from the perimeter. Congrats, Buddy!
