Killian Hayes

Killian Hayes is still only 18 years old but was in his 3rd year of pro ball playing for Ratiopharm Ulm in the EuroCup, and frankly, he might be glad the season ended prematurely. With a record of 1-9, the team was last in the standings.

Having said that, Hayes was not to blame, as he was having a solid season, averaging 12.8 points and 6.2 assists per game. He shot 45% from the field and 39% from 3, pretty impressive considering his age and the level of competition. He has a good frame and could be able to guard 1s and 2s in the league. While he did seem to overuse going to his left, he still showed good vision and finishing ability around the rim, knowing when the appropriate time was to dish it off to the big man or put up a shot.

When the draft comes and goes, the Phoenix Suns might not even select a point guard, but given there current team, it would seem wise to invest in the position at some point. We don’t know where the Suns will be drafting, but when looking at these five point guards in the draft, there are a lot of different, quality options available to them.
