Sacramento Kings’ shooting guard Buddy Hield seemed like he had the time of his life during his trip to Italy this offseason.

A few players on the Sacramento Kings have had some wild offseasons so far. Last month, Harrison Barnes was able to visit India to represent the NBA and the Kings organization. Also recently, De’Aaron Fox released his sneaker collaboration with Nike and was on national television for Fox Sports and the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

Now on the list, Buddy Hield was in Italy during his offseason where he did and explored a ton while in the country. Some of the activities Buddy did were watching basketball games, visiting the Piazza del Duomo, and even meeting Giorgio Armani.

Buddy even got himself some authentic gelato while in Italy. Hopefully, he did not eat too much during his stay. To see more photos of Buddy’s visit, click on this link.

Final Thoughts

Overall, it is good to see Buddy enjoying himself after having a great 2018-2019 campaign. The Kings were a pleasant surprise for their fans and the NBA this year as their electric offense caused havoc for their opponents night in and night out. Buddy’s dynamic perimeter shooting was a big reason for it.

In the 82 games that Buddy played in this season, he averaged around 21 points, five rebounds, and three assists per game while making around 46% from the floor, 43% from the perimeter, and 89% from the free-throw stripe.
