How BAD is Killian Hayes Actually? 

Killian Hayes under points is an infinite money glitch

People be comparing his career trajectory to Ricky Rubio but that's insulting to Ricky Rubio IMO. Ricky has been a starting caliber player majority of his career and has made a positive impact on teams he's been on and also lasted long in his NBA career.

The past 2 games, he played 25 mins against the Nuggets and 31 against the Kings and he scored 2 and 4 points respectively. That says a lot.

Killian just got waived… watch everyone come to this video to watch why he got waived lol😂

The thing about Killian is confidence. He plays in a city where no one has anything good to say about him. Never had anything good to say about him since he was drafted. That can be tough on a young player's mental.

Worst game I’ve ever seen last night against Celtics he was the biggest disaster

Much of the talk before the draft had killian a top 5 lock. I preferred that we had drafted Halliburton but there were a lot of uncertainties of the translation of his game to the next level. Killian had played “pro” so it made sense to draft him. Halliburton had poor shooting that improved throughout his college career to above 40% from 3. The logic of drafting killian was to take the younger “pro” that had a “higher” upside rather than taking an older experienced college player with shown improvement. Plus Halliburton was coming off an injury at the end of his college run. I wanted Halliburton but now live with the worst nba team in history record wise and watch Halliburton thrive ;)

He's only 22 and on the Pistons. It's hard to evaluate anyone on the team. At times, he plays well. Other times, he doesn't. He'd look better on a good team.

Hayes is literally good at everything but scoring the ball lmao

He blamed it on his time in France lol French/Euro bball translates well to the nba as it is less iso based you can pick up a role quickly and get good court vision, plus good players come from France and all over europe what was he on about ? And even hell it’s basketball If he was any good he would be good

I personally think these young players would actually be phenomenal… separately on different teams

Pistons could've had Tyrese Haliburton

Who else is here after he got cut?

Tbh this guy has been given the longest leash by a team for the past 4 years. Kinda crazy cause they’re so many players that are never given the chance to shine. Pistons are a bum ass Franchise.

Killian is basically Ntilikina but worse

I swear he alone is 50% of the reason the pistons are on this losing streak

Imma be honest. When piston on their losing streak played against my celtics, theres a guard that was so bad i had to search google for piston roster jersey no.7 to know who he is. I was like omg who is this?

Going pro overseas at an early age can have ups and downs. If you're really good, you'll look even better in the eyes of scouts if you can compete alongside grown men. But if you are kinda struggling, you probably should of went to college and played alongside and against others in your age group. This kid thought he was Luka.

The only thing I can say is Killian Hayes isn't a bust because a terrible franchise drafted him way too early and then expected him to be good. The Pistons themselves are the true bust. 🙃

When I saw him against the Celtics last nite I could only think of how Bill Simmons' boy Kevin O'Connor tried to float him as the top pick in his draft class...(in part bc of the lack of a top consensus known pick that year but still) I'm pretty sure he would retract that appraisal if he could 😂

Yeh let’s put the playmaking defender at scoring guard and wonder why he can’t flourish

From the moment I saw him on draft night, I just knew he would not pan out. He has that Frank Ntilikina vibe.

You know what worrying me is I can see Ausar Thompson turning into Hayes because Pistons really can’t develop young players….

I’m not here to defend killian hayes I’ve always thought he was the worst player on the league since his rookie szn but he went to detroit of all places and they traded his mentor (Derrick rose) mid rookie szn and he was injured then the next draft they traded a no.1 pick that also needs the ball in his hands and he has never learned how to win from a true vet hopefully he learns from Monte morris and goes to a win (the wizards and spurs) that could use him he’ll be a tyus/tre jones or Monte morris PG in this league if he tries to be that

Even if I'm french, I recognize that Killian hasn't succeded yet as a lottery pick. Maybe a trade could help him bouncing back !

Last 6 games now 9-31 fg, 20 assists and 12 turnovers overs and horrible d.

Gr8 video! As a Piston fan. I watched in disguise while the Pistons wasted ANOTHER high draft pick on Killian Hayes. Yes he is as bad as his true shooting percentage has stated. He has improved slightly, but it's just a bandaid to a broken arm. But the biggest problem is Troy Weaver. He's horrible in his assessment of talent!

Watching him against Boston the other day I think he had damn near 3 maybe 4 consecutive turnovers which sparked a Boston run and the coach still kept him in the game I'm like bruh put him on the bench he ain't made a play since he been in the game

I don’t know how he’s still in the rotation dude is absolute trash

Me personally I think if he would have got use to playing in the us at a earlier age he be a little better not by a lot but playing at high levels does help

Saw this video recommended after watching Hayes go -9 in a game the Pistons actually won by 16.

He needs to go overseas, and have a Dante Exum type of training. He is literally sub par on all aspect. He aint fast, not a good shooter, not really good defensively. He is lucky he is still in the NBA.

I'm agree with you and that's why I don't like him! Many RU-vidrs doesn't watched Pistons games and when they made some rebuild Pistons videos, they just rebuilt it in a regular way. How to creat space is the most considerable issue for Pistons managers, and Killian Hayes is the one should be traded firstly.

This dude is a bench warmer on any other team

Th G-League may be just what he need to work on his shooting and build his confidence.

Dude ceiling is DeAron Fox and floor Cam Payne

Killian is in a very weird position because of the team he’s on cause I don’t like Jaden Ivy and cade, at moments. The team doesn’t really have anyone that’s who is that guy and their new coach isn’t really helping and the Pistons are just throwing players at the wall to try and see what sticks and if they’ll just progress into something amazing because just judging from the Euro league stats he has he was more or less than all around or who could be like a really good six man for you or that back up point guard on a championship team that facilitates and holds down the fort while the main guy is resting. Kind like what shaun Livingston did for the Golden State Warriors but Killian Hayes is the dollar store version of that and they’re just kind of hoping he puts it together and he’s probably not mainly because the dude specializes in nothing that they need. He’s struggling to try and be more for his role, when his skill set right now, isn’t conducive to that which he should have an easier time translating over since he did play in the euro league which would give him high amounts of competition but judging from the Euro league stats, he was mostly a swing player someone they passed the ball to, and he happened to be kinda like what Jordan Poole was on the Golden State Warriors defense in prep for him so he was able to cook a lot easier but since the Pistons don’t have anything or anyone to really stand in front of Killian and take all the pressure off, they’re just pressuring anyone who is the topic and might be a threat so he’s on the defensive plans and he’s just getting stomped out by them And I feel like it’s hindering his growth a little bit because I had high expectations because a lot of people were saying he was a top five top 10 guy and right now he feels less like that more like a dude who should’ve been taken late second round but he’s got a lot of time left and for the most part I think he can progress into that shaun Livingston role of back up point guard who facilitates really well but they need to start constructing this team with a little bit of veteran tape on it because they don’t have anyone to take all the burden off of these young dudes that are still developing Jaden, Ivy, and cade can’t keep caring the shell

man i just don’t understand how we are so bad, we have all this young talent although we do need a true big man and maybe some veteran players but we have to be tanking there’s no way

The media always cheers about his defense….. I must be blind cause I ain’t seen nothing yet 😂😂

Really believed in the kid 😣

Crazy how many blatant carries he got away with in his pre-draft highlights. I know it gets old complaining everything is a carry but c'mon look at 2:56, that kind of ballhandling was never going to fly long term in the NBA

The video is well-edited and such, but videos like this would be much improved if the people who made them did more than summarize the subject's wikipedia page.

He’s not that bad, it’s just he doesn’t score enough to play meaningful minutes. Outside of that he’s pretty good. Can pass, great defender, athletic.

Pause it on 5:36 to see Killian's mom reacting with such glee at him being drafted. I love moms. They get happier for their kids than the kids themselves sometimes.

He took his leap already, he reached his ceiling

Shoutout to the 520 podcast

I feel really bad for him bc I really thought going to the draft i compared him to dlo and i thought he can be better than him and be a all star. He was supposed to be the point guard. He was supposed to run the offense and give you 7+ assists and dropping 30pt. I knew it when pistons drafted Cade I knew it was gonna mess him up his growth as a player . I hope he get on a new team and show everyone he an all star

I usually don't pay much attention to the NBA til after the Superbowl bt I've been studying a few terrible teams to bet against nd the Pistons among a few others are about to make me plenty of money on that line 😊

How BAD is Killian? Me: Flight doesn’t know his name 😂😂😂

Now Killian Hayes is "bye felicia". Good player in a different era. He woulda been good if he were in the 90s where defense and playmaking was important for a point guard. And take note "good" not great and role player at best.

That highlight of his pull up mid range against the Celtics is by far the ugliest left handed form I’ve ever seen 😂

If other NBA stars are saying this its sad bro he prolly be hooping chillin, but the NBA the more money you make, the easier to find yo replacement

He should adapt his game. Obviously he is a terrible shooter, but e has good court vision and passing. Should move towards being a rondo type player

Worst PG in the entire NBA, don't understand how is he still on the NBA, I know it's the pistons but still he doesn't even has the level for the pistons

At what point does Detroit get removed from the NBA?

Say what you want but this guy was chosen over: Desmond Bane, Immanuel Quickly, Tyrese Maxey, Cole Anthony, Devin Vassell and Tyrese Haliburton.

He just got waived by the Pistons. I hope he can find a new situation where he can develop into his full potential.

He’s a guy who has a pace n space game who’s not athletic, can’t pass, & has no jumper. He’s what D’Angelo Russell turns into when his jumper is not fallin but he’s that all the time

"Passing is above average when compared to the rest of his draft class" smh

He'd be a all star with Wemby coached up proper

I think Hayes would have faired better on the Pistons, if they had more veteran leadership. If Hayes signs with a more veteran laden teams, I think Hayes can be a solid pro

Killian Hayes is really causing a detriment on growth of the team he’s a good defensive guard but on a team with so many guards what we need is someone to put pressure on them to play efficient or give him the ball, Marcus sadder could be that player putting pressure on Alec, Ivey and Cade to be more efficient he could also play aggressive, Killian can’t score as a guard meaning no one is scared of Killian taking a step while also giving players feeling all I gotta do is play better than him. He need to be on a team that prioritizes defense in the backcourt 1st and foremost like Miami. He would also grow. Unleash Sasser yo he’s best freethrow shooter on team. Auser takes Killian spot guards Cade is passer

Prononciation of « Cholet » = something like « sholay »

I am just fed up with him. He is the face of Troy Weaver's incompetence. That being said, he has certainly improved. While he just was unplayable at the beginning of his NBA career, he has 10mpg replacement level now.

send him to toronto he'll be gucci

I don't see how anyone thought he was good from any of these highlights. One of the slowest 6'5 guys I've ever seen, especially playing the 1. The thing that stood out to me is that there is no separation in any of these clips, meaning he would have an impossible time at the next level if he can't get away from under-21 Euroballers, no disrespect. His dad probably knew this, and tried to protect him from having his confidence shattered by NCAA programs. When I heard "his dad felt a certain way about US basketball systems"....I thought, that's probably why your dad went from the ABA to France instead of being a star NBA player. He's turning you into the same guy.

Not sure why I always had the perception that he was a solid passer and overall player

He's garbanzo beans

Kellian Hayes best fit in Spurs, Wizards or Phoenix 🤔🤔🤔

Fair and accurate assessment.

I m french and I have to admit, he s not good enough for the nba. He was good when he was young in Europe because of his physical abilities. Once he s against bigger guys, he s lost.

Hayes is pistons best wing defender which sums up our team and best passer which also sums up the mess of the team. I dont hate killian but hes bench player as best

So what is this video for?

Hayes is Euroleague player

Rubio the guy nobody wants in a pickup game. Rubio was a "Lame Duck", "hold it down for now", JOURNEYMAN PG. Killian is Class of 2023. ROOKIE AGE.

Honestly you could make an argument for him to start on the Wizards (second worst NBA team)

Why does it gotta be MY team that tank this horrendously?? I’d rather be in the place of the KINGS than the Detroit right now…

Lol Jeff Teague keepin it real! I've got no sympathy Detroit. My team drafted one of the biggest bust's in recent memory (James Wiseman). Good thing we hit on Podz last year. I'm sorry but Monty does NOT deserve to be paid more than any other coach (except Popovich) in the league.

He's right next to Cam Reddish. That's bad.

Too bad he got waived today, keep working man. 🎉

*Waived by the Pistons...*

as bad as that god awful toadstool haircut my god

I'm all about the Pistons stinking. Less competition in the division. But this dude hasn't been coached at all in the NBA because Detroit stinks. His jump shot is wretched, he has court vision but no idea how to use it in an offense. Stick him on even a decent franchise, he'll probably blossom.

KYLIAN HAYES PART 98 !!!!

I think Hayes is a raw prospect, and should have started in the G league. Too much too soon for him. Plus drafted to worse possible situation

Within the next 3 seasons Hayes will be a solid playmaking point capable of dropping 25 similar to a Mike Conley.

Who’s worse. him or pat Williams?

bro just cut from a 7-win team 😭 that’s gotta hurt

Well if basketball doesn’t work out at least the guy can become a model 🤷🏻‍♂️

Killian Hayes vs Thanasis 🔥🔥🔥🔥

no right hand

Them bust allegations were true

He’s gonna have the same trajectory as kuzma, everyone will clown him so much for being trash that they’ll love him. He’ll get on a team with good players and even though he’ll still be trash compared to the top performers it’ll be swept under the rug. He’ll cling to whatever championship he can ride along for because he’s not a game changer. But one things for sure, he’ll be making money to support his family and that’s all that matters in this scripted NBA 😂

The Wolves need a back up PG. might learn a thing or two from Mike Connelly. Seems like a confidence issue and no one to learn from

bad enough to get waived.

His highlights before the NBA are not impressive, how was he even drafted so high

Thank You. Fam, ain’t the WORST! In due time he’ll be fine.

imo not an nba caliber player

Does Killian even shave yet?

killian hayes is a short thanasis that plays
