NBA Today: 5 Most Underrated Players in the League Right Now

#3 Buddy Hield

Buddy Hield sits at the epicenter of Sacramento's fast-paced offence

Last season, the Kings missed out on a playoff berth by the slimmest of margins but the brilliance displayed by Buddy Hield did not go unnoticed.

He stepped up to become one of the most efficient perimeter shooters across the league, carrying an impressive conversion rate of 46% from the floor and 43% from beyond the arc, having played through all 82 regular season games.

Hield also broke the record for the most three-pointers by any player in his first three years via his stack of 602 treys so far.

There is no doubt that Hield is the core piece of Sacramento's future and much of the franchise's rebuild depends on how he grows as a player.

One of his undervalued qualities is his movement without the ball, something that makes efficient shooters like Curry and Thompson, even more lethal.

At 26 years of age, Buddy averaged almost 2.7 miles per game, underlining hi constant off-ball movement.
