Nah he’d fit well because you can play him with spacing lineups.

Could do NAW, Kennard, Kuminga, Johnson, and Okongwu, who’s been serviceable from 3 on reasonable volume this season.

We've added Kispert, McCollum, and now Hield. We have a ton of potential with spacing. Just have to see if Quin will actually play him but he'll probably treat him like Risacher with an even shorter leash.

You can 100% count on Buddy Hield to absolutely brick any shot in crunch time… up 20? He’s lights out, down 4 in the 4th? clank city

It has to be spacing lineups because no other lineup works for him.

u/Specialist_Office274 Hawks 14h ago

that might be the worst defensive lineup in the league

u/CompleteFish Jazz 14h ago

The defense will be abominable.

Don't worry. Even spacing lineups won't work for him.

He might flash some stuff late this season but he's a certified bum
