Hayes says of playing with Frank Ntilikina in New York: "It would be dope."https://t.co/tWBkkOqiqq
Although the 18-year-old point guard began this draft cycle as a potential first-rounder, his breakout campaign for Ratiopharm Ulm of the Bundesliga skyrocketed his stock to lottery status.
With a lack of consensus in the 2020 Draft Class, mock drafts have the French facilitator coming off the board all throughout the lottery, though he could potentially fall to the Silver and Black at 11.
And while San Antonio already rosters a congested backcourt rotation, Spurs fans will be happy to know the crafty left-hander has been studying film of several playmaking legends, including Manu Ginobili.
Killian Hayes said he has watched film of Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Steve Nash, Manu Ginobili, Goran Dragic and Miloš Teodosić, among others. Nothing like setting the sights high.
