non-guaranteed contract. he's been bad enough i doubt he makes it through camp, but no risk.

I like the flyer on a former lotto pick that didn't stick with the team that drafted him, Killian can really playmake and defend at a high level.

I think we have a very big chance of duplicating 12-70 season. We just need to pick up Joe & Brook... :lol:

Devin Harris / Joe Harris
Terrence Williams / Ziaire Williams
Jarvis Hayes / Killian Hayes
Bobby Simmons / Ben Simmons
Brook Lopez / Brook Lopez

Hopefully, not ending up drafting another Derrick Favors... :banghead:

can someone give me the skinny on this guy? All I know is he's a former lotto pick who was cut from the worst team in the league.

Salvageable talent? Any skills? (or is that a joke for me to ask lol)

Came in peace to say . . . If you want the Nets to win, I'm sorry about Killian cuz he won't help. OTOH, if you want the Nets to tank, you're welcome for the ultimate tank commander.

He's a very likeable kid, and one of the few OK defenders on some atrocious Detroit teams recently, but he is allergic to scoring/shooting/contact and a zero on O

Two things.

1) Killian Hayes is the type of player we should be taking a chance with. Low risk - possible reward.

2) Killian Hayes is a reminder to all of us that lottery picks can disappoint. It is also a reminder that our rebuild is going to be long and grueling. The Billy King deal was 2013 and it took the Celtics 11 years

So, he's an undersized poor man's Ben Simmons. #BricklynBackcourt
