Since Hield is a popular name here, imagine what he could do with Luka's and KP's gravity. Could he be couched up to be a serviceable defender? What would a THJ-like bump make Hield? Carlisle has long had success in doing this with the 4/5 spot (Wright, Mahinmi, Powell, now WCS).
You said it in 1st line "he turned himself"
If Hield comes, he will need to turn himself and get advantage of the situation, that isn't granted and actually far from it.
Hield isn't the kind of guy who will do whatever the coach want, he had problems with 2 coaches before, made it clear he doesn't want to come from the bench.
Yes, there is a chance he might turn better than THJ, but there is also a bigger chance he won't
