One year ago, Killian Hayes wasn’t projected as the top international prospect in the 2020 draft, let alone the top international guard. And even now, which of those tenets are true are largely subjective. The best international prospect? To many around the NBA, that’s Israeli forward Deni Avdija. Whether or not you can call Hayes the top international guard depends on whether you classify LaMelo Ball, who spent the past season in Australia, as international (for what it’s worth, you probably shouldn’t). Hayes was actually born in Florida, but raised in France, where his American father played professionally, and where he himself received his basketball education up until last summer, when he transferred from Cholet to German club Ulm.
