Hitting 3-pointers are important in today's game of basketball. With the game becoming fast-paced and dominated by 3-point shooters, the Sacramento Kings surely is lucky to have Buddy Hield on their roster.

A fun fact post by Steven Adams of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Reddit.com shows his shooting percentage beyond the arc is best amongst players who made 750+ shots in their first two seasons in the league.

While the list lacks the names of career all-time shooters like Ray Allen, Reggie Miller and Stephen Curry, having that feat will definitely ring a bell to NBA teams. The sixth overall draft pick of the New Orleans Pelicans was included in the trade that included for DeMarcus Cousins and has since played a significant role off the bench for the Kings.

Making an average of more two 3-point shots per game from the bench gives them an offensive firepower from the second stringers.

Blake Ellingon of Sactownroyalty.com writes he will play a significant role with the Kings, adding defense and playmaking to his arsenal this offseason. He will fill up the current void while Bodgan Bogdanovic is still nursing his knee injury at the start of the season. The future is bright for Buddy as long as he consistently yields his threes up.
