2020 Hornets prospect scouting report: Killian Hayes

Killian Hayes, a combo guard born in Lakeland, Fla. that grew up in France, has been playing professional basketball since 2017. Draft analysts are all over the map on Hayes’ draft range, but many reputable outlets and sources are high on him and there’s a good chance that he’s being severely underrated in this unique pre-draft process.

Measurements:

Height: 6’ 5”

Wingspan: 6’ 8” (estimated)

Weight: 187 pounds

Strengths: playmaking/court vision, pick-and-roll command, touch/feel in the paint

Killian Hayes is one of the most cerebral guards in the 2020 draft class; instead of relying on raw physical talent — though he has ideal size for a guard — Hayes utilizes elite basketball IQ and feel, contorting defenses to his will.
