The Orlando Magic are in need of a three-point shooter, and Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Buddy Hield looks like one of the best fits on the free-agent market.
ORLANDO — After making the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2020, the Orlando Magic franchise has reinvigorated its fan base with the expectation of becoming a regular Eastern Conference challenger.
In the regular season, Orlando ranked 24th of 30 teams in three-point field goal percentage at just over 35%. They were poorer still in the postseason. In the second half of Game 7 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Magic converted three of 14 three-point attempts and lost a 10-point lead and the series.
In his eight NBA seasons, Hield has not only lived up to his college shooting splits but exceeded them. As a Sooner, Hield shot 39 percent on 6.8 attempts per game. In the NBA, his career performance has improved to 40 percent on 7.6 attempts per game — one of 48 players all-time making threes at 40 percent or better.
While Hield’s three-point rate still ranked above this season’s league average of 36.6 percent, his declining production and his age — he turns 32 years next season — could be deal-breakers.
