Didn’t realize Zion and Ja played on the same AAU squad growing up! Damn, that must have been a team!
In our Mock Draft I picked him up, I actually really like his game. I think he could be a little bit like Enes Kanter but maybe a better defender.
He already is a better defender. He'll be a good defender. He could be a good shooter too. Hes the best C in the draft.
Yeah, agreed. Hayes just had a huge growth spurt a few years ago and wasn't really serious about basketball before that so his potential is pretty extreme considering his relative "newness" to the game. A good portion of international players like Goga have experience playing professionally already and are ahead of the curve in terms of playing right away.
