Buddy Hield: Supplies 17 points, six boards Saturday

Hield picked up 30-plus minutes for the second straight game, an encouraging
development with the team at full strength in the backcourt with Tyreke Evans
(rest) returning from a one-game hiatus. As the top asset the Kings received in
the DeMarcus Cousins trade, Hield should be guaranteed consistent run the rest
of the way, and has justified the team’s optimism in his long-term prospects
over his first nine games with the club. He’s scored in double figures in all
but one of those contests and is shooting 51.2 percent from three-point range.
