Buddy Hield is quite good

[Bluzmann57]

And he's a senior. One rarely sees senior players in college these days. At least not those as good as Hield.

1. yeah, he's amazing

He's been a ton of fun to watch. When he's really on (as he was for the first six or seven minutes of each half tonight) he's pretty incredible. I'm sure glad he came back for his senior year.

He's got an interesting story, too: http://www.theplayerstribune.com/buddy-hield-oklahoma-sooners-basketball/

4. His backstory may explain why he's still in college.

Growing up in the Bahamas, he presumably didn't have the dreams of making it big in the NBA that American kids have. Nor did he have much opportunity to polish his game down there.

3. He's having the kind of year.

that could lead a team to a title, like Juan Dixon in '02 or Donald Williams in '93.
