With the sixth overall pick in the NBA Draft, the New Orleans Pelicans have selected Buddy Hield, the college basketball sensation who led Oklahoma to the Final Four last season. Four years at Oklahoma means Hield will turn 23 just a month into his NBA career, but his polished game is one of his most positive traits. A transcendent shooter and all-around versatile scorer, Hield was everything for the Sooners last season (and throughout his college career), having a knack for hitting ridiculous shots during key situations and infusing the collegiate game with some much-needed fun. There's no question Hield will be able to shoot at an NBA level. He showed it every step of the way at Oklahoma, averaging more than seven attempts behind the arc as a sophomore on 39 percent shooting. But there's no doubt Hield's stock as a lottery pick is thanks to his performance as a senior. Playing more than 35 minutes per game, Hield scored 25 points per night on 50.1 percent shooting from the field and 45.7 percent beyond the three-point line -- statistically, the best shooting season in college basketball. His scoring came frequently, and often in huge binges. His best night came against Kansas, where he dropped 46 points and showed how many ways he's capable of scoring buckets. - See more at: http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2016/6/...2016-results-buddy-hield-new-orleans-pelicans
