If you go the route of taking Hayes, you have to add more size as well. Coby is 6-4 sub 200, Zach is 6-6 200, Hayes is 6-5 about 200.
Depending upon the coach, that is going to be a tricky lineup to pair well defensively. WCJ would have to be on the floor but you need a OPJ or bigger sized F as well.
Which is why I hate Hayes esp bc your entire roster is filled with 6-5s 3 position just to fill a need at pg.
Its not like any of these guys can play and defend 3 positions to make it work.
And hayes is another meh White, Carter type pick just for fit who doesnt move the needle.
Low ceiling starter that will take another 4 yrs to develop.
I am fine with Hayes being the pick. I like him a lot. I prefer Deni because I think his upside is better and so is his roster fit.
I don't love the idea of a 3 guard line up and sacrificing size, I also think defensively asking Zach, Coby and Hayes to guard is going to be a challenge given the lack of size and individual abilities without having a rim protector and another stout defender on the floor.
Which is why I agree with you that we'll have to eventually address size. But for now, take the BPA, don't overthink it. Oh, and if Karnisovas believes that Deni is BPA, then by all means, let's pick him.
