Killian Hayes, the former 7th overall pick from the 2020 draft class, started his fourth season of his NBA career with the following stats in his first two games:
Loss vs MIA:
- 10pts, 1reb, 3ast, 4-12 fg, 0-6 3pts, +1 in 31 minutes
Win vs CHA:
- 6pts, 3rebs, 3asts, 2-10 fg, 1-3 3pts, 29mins, -7 in 29 minutes
Averages: 30mpg, 8ppg, 2rpg, 3apg, with 27/11/60 splits
Edit: I messed up the title. Should be exactly 8 ppg instead of 8.4.
Surely after these two games the Pistons will start to prioritize Ivey after him? I understand that Monty views Ivey being a better fit with the bench unit so if he wants to keep him as the sixth man then fine. But he should still be getting more minutes than Hayes the rest of the season.
