Recently, Hield met with the media and revealed that this is the first team he thinks he will not be the best shooter on (since the Warriors have Steph Curry).

Reporter: "You're one of the top shooters in the league and now you're on the same team with Steph. Do you remember a time where you had someone else on the roster where you were like, 'Maybe I'm not the best shooter on this team?'"

Hield: "No."
