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.
Can a pistons fan tell me why he starts
He actually shot well in the preseason, so that might be part of the rationale.
