Even in the early stages of his NBA career, Buddy Hield has proven that he is amongst the top three-point scorers in the league.

In his first two seasons, Hield has knocked down a combined 324 shots from beyond the arc. As noted by Andy Bailey on Twitter, this puts Buddy Buckets higher than the likes of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and others.
