Pros

Killian Hayes could one day become the best scorer to come out of the 2020 NBA Draft class. He has the full package offensively, an inside-out scorer with a quick clip and a great feel for the game.

Playing overseas, Hayes averaged 12.8 points and 6.2 assists per game. He played an increased level of competition as a mere teenager going against fully grown professionals in the EuroCup.

This didn’t stop Hayes from showing off his talents as a pull-up shooter. He is capable of creating his own shot with ease and is quickly developing as a playmaker. Hayes keeps his head up and constantly looks for his teammates.

At 6’4″, Hayes has a long wingspan and could become a reliable perimeter defender in the future. He averaged 1.5 steals per game last season but will need to improve at staying in front of his man.
