Any idea where he'll be drafted?
Seems to me like he's got a lot more than just "long term role player" potential... He's an offensive juggernaut that can kill you any number of ways - very similar to Curry in that regard. Not saying he's got that level of potential, but his offensive game is similar, and he shoots at an incredibly high rate. Defensively, he's pretty darn good as well. His passing still needs work though.
Has he bumped himself up into a top 5 pick? Or is that too optimistic? Maybe top 10? I keep seeing and hearing "late lottery pick", but for someone of his skill level, that just seems too late imo. I could be wrong though.
Edit: James Harden is probably a slightly more accurate comparison for Hield on the offensive side of the ball, as Hield doesn't possess the absurd handling skills of Curry... But Hield is light years better on defense than Harden ever has been or will be.
