Killian Hayes has agreed to a one-year deal with the Brooklyn Nets where he will have a chance to win a spot on their regular season roster. Hayes, who is represented by David Bauman and Yann Balikouzou, was the seventh overall pick in the 2020 draft out of Ratiopharm Ulm by the Detroit Pistons.
In 42 games last season with the Pistons, Hayes averaged 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 24.0 minutes. The Pistons waived Hayes as the trade deadline and he did not resurface on another team for the remainder of the season.
With the Nets entering a rebuild, they will continue to look at second draft players like Hayes as they have with Dennis Smith Jr.
