[SHAMS] Detroit releases Killian Hayes

[wemby]

Defintely worried about the Thompson twins. They’re both more talented and WAY more athletic than Killian. I’ll make that clear- they are not similar to Killian as overall prospects. But their success does depend on them becoming at least OKAY shooters. Fingers crossed.

Yeah, teams now will target you even if you're an okayish shooter, look at Giddey who's shooting 33%, which is below average but still a hell of a lot better than the Thompsons (both around 15%). It's a shame, because they're both so otherwise talented, that the one flaw they have is that which the modern game doesn't allow. I think a good coach could make them work provided they're the only non shooters on the court, but unless there are radical developments in that area it does seem difficult to foresee a future with all of Duren, Ausar and Cade together in Detroit.

I still have hope for Cade becoming more of an outside shooter. He’s not terrible and can be good in stretches.

Ausar? I’m kind of spooked tbh. He’s starting at such a low point as a shooter.

That’s what I’ve been saying and catching heat for voicing it.

My concern is because it seems more like a mental thing than anything.

He shot decent in summer league and last year from NBA distance in the OTE program.

I just worry that if it’s a mental thing, he’ll be streaky and prone to slumps.
