Could Buddy Hield be the Warriors’ next Splash Brother? With Klay Thompson’s departure, the Warriors have been searching for a successor to fill the sharpshooter role, and after tonight’s preseason game, Hield just might be the answer. Coming off a quiet preseason debut, Hield delivered a near-perfect shooting display against his former team, the Sacramento Kings, sparking excitement among Dub Nation and praise for Warriors owner Joe Lacob’s decision to bring him aboard.
Hield was flawless in his first 12 minutes, going 5-for-5 from beyond the arc and adding two more field goals without a miss. He racked up 19 points by the end of the third quarter, with his first and only miss coming late in the quarter on a long-range shot attempt. The display had Warriors fans buzzing, with many calling Hield the perfect replacement for Klay. “Buddy Hield was a genius signing choice,” one fan commented, while others echoed the sentiment, deeming him a worthy successor to Thompson.
While it’s still early in the preseason, Hield’s performance has injected fresh hope into Warriors fans. If he can continue to deliver high-volume shooting, he may just secure his place as Golden State’s newest sharpshooting star and a key piece in Dub Nation’s quest for more championships.
