It is difficult to build a winner in the NBA without a franchise point guard. It has turned into a guard-oriented league that needs speed and shooting ability on the perimeter. The next great point guard could be in the 2020 NBA Draft. His name? Killian Hayes.
Hayes has climbed up draft boards in recent weeks. The French point guard is viewed as a franchise player with great versatility. He has professional experience overseas which will translate well into the NBA. Hayes has shown shot creation ability but just needs to establish consistency.
The 6-foot-5 guard will thrive on athleticism and his feel for the game early on in his career. He will be able to create mismatches off the pick-and-roll game. Hayes’ three-point shot will improve overtime but until then, he has plenty of tools to turn into a quality guard and quickly.
Heading into the 2020 NBA Draft, there are many teams that will be interested in Hayes. There is no doubt that he will be a top-10 pick in a couple of weeks. It’s just a matter of how early in the order will a team take a chance on selecting him.
With that being said, here are five NBA teams that should key in on Killian Hayes as their selection.
