“There’s a lot more he can give” Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse praises Buddy Hield for his performance in win vs New York Knicks

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse has heaped praise on shooting guard Buddy Hield after his performance against the New York Knicks.

The Sixers came out on top in a low-scoring affair with a score of 79-73 at the Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday.

Hield was one of the star performers for the winning team as he ended up registering 16 points to go with seven rebounds, three assists and one steal.

Nurse was quoted after the match where he heaped praise on the Bahamas-born and stated optimism that he can deliver much better performances in the matches to come.

“He’s had some games where it’s tough for him to squeeze off good shots,” said Nurse. “He’s had some games where he’s gotten enough good shots that he hasn’t made, too. Probably a little bit of us figuring out how to use him, probably a little bit the ebbs and flows of the season. I think there’s a lot of those that he feels pretty good about … they’re just not going in.

“So hopefully it’ll ebb and flow the right way for him a little bit soon. Still like him, still getting used to what he can do. Still think there’s a lot more he can give us, too.”
