Except Buddy isn't just a shooter; he's one of the more unique and effective scorers in the NBA today. Buddy Hield's scoring the last 2 years has only been repeated 38 times in NBA history. Buddy will join a list of 15 other players to have done it more than once if he finishes the year with the following numbers:
>=56% TS
>=39% 3pt
>= 5 3PA/game
>= 19.0 PPG

You'll notice some names on this list like Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Ray Allen, Paul George, Reggie Miller. Not a bad list to be on eh?
And in terms of the turnovers... it's totally overblown. Yes, he makes incredibly dumb turnovers, but that's your eYouyes lying to you that he's much worse at turning the ball over than he actually is. In the grand scheme of things, they don't matter all that much:
For comparison, he has a 11.8% TOV rate this year and a
9.2% TOV rate the year prior. Bogdan Bogdanovic the "great protector of the basketball", has an 11.5% TOV rate this season and 11.0% TOV rate the year prior. If Buddy was such an atrocious ball-handler that turns it over every play, why are he and Bogdan essentially turning the ball over at the same rate?
