How BAD is Killian Hayes Actually?

How BAD is Killian Hayes Actually?

In 2020 the struggling Detroit Pistons would land the seventh pick in the upcoming NBA draft and their selection later proved to be a move that would haunt them Detroit Piston select Killian Hayes from Lakeland Florida although future Superstar guards like Tyrese hurden and Tyrese Maxi were still on the table the Detroit Piston

Selected French American point guard from the basketball Bundesliga in Germany although in unconventional route to the NBA through Europe Hayes wasn’t the first player to be selected from overseas from the draft with the third pick lamelo ball coming from the NBL in Australia but to compare these two players today would be disrespectful

With lamelo becoming a star in the league while Killian Hayes already seems like one of the biggest busts of the draft class although time is still on his side it’s fair to say that Killian Hayes is not a good NBA player but how bad is he actually welcome to sports F

Let’s get into it all Monty Williams hit the biggest lick I’ve ever seen in my life cuz the Pistons have not won a game since Halloween yeah they are bad I don’t know why he play never mind I ain’t trying to hate on nobody but no it’s ha is freej NY my

Goodness bro like it’s nasty bro it’s not it’s not a good look Keen ha he’s he’s not a respect he’s not an NBA starter no disrespect Killian Hayes was born in Lakeland Florida in the United States to an American father and French mother and with his father Darren Hayes playing

Professional basketball in the American Basketball Association it seemed like Killian was influenced greatly by his father to pick up a basketball despite being born in the states Killian moved back to Chet France as his father began playing in the French league as time went on Killian seemed to go back and

Forth between France and the United States but no matter where he was he was always around basketball as a young kid Hayes would play pickup basketball usually with older competition as he slowly began to fall in love with the game as a result Killian spent most of his time as a kid

Playing for the Youth team of charlet basketball which was his dad’s former Club as he started taking the game more seriously although Killian wanted to play high school and college ball in America his dad recommended him to stay in France due to him having a certain negative outlook on the USA Basketball

System having come out of it himself like many NBA players his age he was inspired by Dwayne Wade’s game as well as dribbling moves from and one despite receiving offers from prestigious basketball programs in France Hayes would end up playing for spers Colette in the French under 21

League this was a big move for Killian Hayes and it showed just how skilled he was as just a young player because in his first season in 2016 he was on average six years younger than most of his teammates and opponents being just 15 years old in his rookie seasons for

The es Boyers he played 50 minutes per game averaging almost five points and over two assists and in The Following 20178 Season he would take a big leap for the ESP boers averaging 16.6 points four rebounds and seven assists on the season before being named the regular season MVP at just 6 years

Old with this significant achievement the following year saw him join the senior team playing against grown men and in his rookie season he averaged 2.2 points and 1.2 assists in 9 minutes of game time after this season he signed a three-year professional contract with a senior chillet team however things would

Soon turn bad internal issues and injuries to Hayes and other players saw chette start the season in last place which soon saw them part ways with their head coach and although Hayes was confident in his ability as a 17-year-old he began questioning if playing in France was

Even the right move for his NBA aspirations in 34 games on the season Hayes averaged seven points and three assists per game over the years in chot he also made annual appearances to basketball camps during Allstar weekends in the states anyways after the 201819 season with chette Haywood signed a

Three-year contract with ratio Farm om of the basketball Bundesliga in Germany which was also a participant of the Euro Cup the basketball Bundesliga is the highest level of competition in Germany who are also one of the best teams on the international stage so playing in this league certainly wasn’t easy for

Hayes especially considering these were grown men fighting for a spot to feed their families Hayes hoped that this would be his Pathway to the NBA and he was not disappointed in his debut game for russio Farm Hayes scored 15 points and had six assists in a victory and he continued this trend

Putting up good all round numbers before finishing the season with 11.6 points 5.4 assists 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 33 games at this point although some saw him as a top three pick Hayes was expected to be drafted in the mid Lottery as a modernday 6’5 versatile point guard

And as we know Hayes will be drafted with the seventh overall pick of the 2020 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons despite High Hopes from Pistons fans Haz would start off his NBA career pretty poorly early on it was clear that he wasn’t used the intensity of the NBA and

He just seemed out of place exhibited through his abysmal shooting and high turnovers on top of this his season came to a standstill after a hip injury in January seeing him out for the majority of the remaining season he ended his rookie season with 6.8 points 5.3 assists 2.7 rebounds and

One steal per game in 26 games achieving this on 3.2 turnovers while shooting under 28% from three and under 40% from two although he seems to have potential as a good facilitator his shooting efficiency clearly had to improve for him to stay in the NBA but he was just a

Rookie and a slow start can often be a perfect wakeup call on where he needs to improve the most but to be fair to Killian the Detroit Pistons have been a bottom team in the league for a while also with a lack of leadership and Veteran presence so having a slow start

To his career wasn’t all his fault The Following Season saw Killian play most of the Pistons games and starting in most of those games also although he cut down on his turnovers greatly and increased his field goal percentage his three-point shooting remained lackluster at just just over 26% and considering the importance of

The three-point shot in the modern NBA Killian Hayes was beginning to see some bus allegations after his sophomore season his mediocrity for a top draft pick continued in The Following Season although he averaged career highs of over 10 points and six assists per game which saw some hope in sealing some

Pistons fans but as the losses started piling up for Detroit and you look deeper into haz’s stats things didn’t look so promising despite highs in points and assists he was doing so on the worst team in the NBA while his poor shooting continued as a matter of fact in the

2022 23 season Hayes had the worst true shooting percentage in the NBA with 45.5% and just for comparison the second worst was Dylan Brooks at 49.4% so Killian Hayes was the most inefficient player in the entire NBA and it wasn’t even close for many players with low true shooting percentages they

Often make up for it on the defensive end however Killian was just an average Defender at best and after this season alarm Bells started ringing as to the validity of Killian Hayes in the NBA in his fourth season so far in 25 games Hayes has played he’s averaging

Nine points 4.4 assists and three rebounds shooting and improved 43% from the field and over 30% from three that being said the Pistons have solidified themselves as the worst team in the NBA by a mile losing the past 29 games as of this recording some claim this is

Tanking from the Detroit Pistons and others claim they just suck but what’s for certain is Killian Hayes has proved to be a very very very average NBA player at best with that said how bad is he actually although it’s easy to call kill and hay is a terrible player let’s

Look at what he’s done well with an especially rough first two seasons he’s now shown some signs of better decision- making on the court achieving this through taking better shots and taking care of the ball more however he’s still a below average three-point shooter although his free throw percentage has

Always been decent his most notable attribute is his passing ability which is above average when compared to the rest of his draft class as for defensively he seems like a willing Defender however is still average at best for his experience so is he one of the worst players in the NBA well

Considering he’s just 22 years old it’s hard to put that label on him but considering he was picked early in the lottery he’s been a lot worse than expected seeming more like a second round pick some may find it surprising that the Pistons are still giving him a starting role with significant minutes

As Killian seems more like a 10-minute per game bench player at this stage not the worst player in the NBA nor the worst player in his draft class but certainly not a starter level player on any team and that includes the worst team in the NBA the

Pistons it’s no secret that the next couple years will be making break seasons for Hayes and if he can’t improve quick enough we may see him start playing in the G League very soon anyways that’s it for the video thanks for watching sports feere how bad
