As the NBA season winds down for the Sacramento Kings it will be another year without the post-season.  That makes 12 consecutive seasons without a birth in the playoffs.  Not many positives in those stats but inside of that you can find some gems.  The play of 2nd year pro Buddy Hield has been really encouraging.  Buddy always plays hard, rebounds well for his position and has elite level shooting.  His work ethic is undeniable and if he can improve his ball handling and play making, I am anxious to see where he can go.  The season of losing has worn on the fans but the individual play has caught the attention of many people around the NBA.  Check out these two tweets from people that cover the NBA regularly and they have notice Buddy and are impressed.
