Pelicans' Buddy Hield: Shows well in Rising Stars showcase

Hield posted 28 points (11-22 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT) to go along with six rebounds, three assists, three steals and a blocked shot in Friday's Rising Stars Challenge.

Analysis:

Hield looked great in this young player showcase, but he has looked overmatched at times during the regular season. He is averaging just 8.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists in eight February games, making him worth using only in deeper redraft fantasy leagues. The rookie remains a must-have in long-term keeper formats, however.
