The New Orleans Pelicans took Buddy Hield with the No. 6 pick in this last NBA Draft and he deserved it. Joining Anthony Davis and company down in NO will be a big boost for the team in the backcourt, especially since he’s a hard worker and deadly shooter. The Oklahoma guard has struggled a bit during Summer League so far, putting up an underwhelming performance against the Los Angeles Lakers in his debut, but bouncing back against the Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings.
While he still gets acclimated to the NBA game, this clip takes you back to draft night and what it meant for Buddy to be selected. He says all that hard work he put in was validated at that moment and it’s a dream come true for him, coming from the Bahamas.
