The Nets player Killian Hayes gave a long interview to Hoopshypewhere he touched on several topics. Between the desire to win a place in the NBA and the offers received from EuroLeague and EuroCup to return to play in the Old Continent.
Killian Hayes arrived in the NBA with a great desire to demonstrate his full potential. Selected with the seventh call in the 2019 draft by the Detroit Pistons, he failed to break through as everyone would have thought. After four seasons in Motown City, the franchise released him last February.
After the end of the experience with the Pistons, he joined the Long Island Nets, a development team linked to the Brooklyn franchise, with which he soon hopes to find a new opportunity in the NBA.
What do you want to prove to the League?
“My personality. Being able to play both ends of the floor, especially defense and just do what I do. Play with confidence and be aggressive.”.
What do you think you can bring to any franchise?
“Aggression on both sides of the pitch. Offensively, my ability to create play and attack the box, and on defense just defending all over the pitch, being aggressive on their best player.”.
Have you ever thought about returning to France or abroad?
“Yes, like you said, I think about the present. I think about the moment I’m in, that is, Sunday’s match, which is an important match, the last one of the showcase, so that’s exactly where I am at the moment.”.
What was it like playing for Monty Williams and Dwane Casey?
“Very tactical, especially for Monty. It seems to me that his offensive baggage was very deep when he arrived. I was able to watch him and see how extensive his offensive baggage is. And coach Casey, because I started and had a great relationship with coach Casey.”.
Have you received any offers in the last year?
“There have been offers, EuroLeague, EuroCup, but as I said I’m here today and I have a match on Sunday, that’s what I’m focused on”.
