Overview

  • Hayes declined a strong offer from ASVEL and inquiries from Real Madrid and Anadolu Efes to keep his focus on an NBA return.
  • He averaged 17.3 points, 7.4 assists and 5.4 rebounds in 33 G League games last season, bolstering his case for a preseason invite.
  • In six appearances with the Brooklyn Nets, Hayes posted 9.0 points and 5.2 assists per game while shooting 38.1 percent from three.
  • NBA rules bar him from signing a two-way deal this fall, meaning he must earn one of the league’s 15 standard roster spots in training camp.
  • He has yet to receive a guaranteed training camp invitation, making his summer workouts critical to his NBA prospects.
