Now that the Buddy Hield sign-and-trade deal has settled, Warriors fans have coined the new Golden State backcourt duo as the “Splash Buddies,” a nod to their sharpshooting abilities. Known for his impressive 40 percent 3-point shooting accuracy, Hield will bring another dangerous perimeter shooter to the team, although he won’t replace the recently departed Klay Thompson. Fans fondly remember Hield from his time with the Sacramento Kings, where he dominated the long-range game and won the 2020 NBA 3-Point Contest. With big changes in Golden State’s lineup, including the addition of Hield, De’Anthony Melton, and Kyle Anderson, the Warriors look to bounce back from last season’s play-in-game defeat. While the new nickname may not have the same ring as the Splash Brothers, Hield and Curry are poised to light up the scoreboard with their 3-point prowess in the upcoming NBA season.
