Nets signing former lottery pick Killian Hayes for possible guard depth
NY Post
The Nets are taking a chance on a former lottery pick.
Killian Hayes, a point guard who was drafted seventh overall just four years ago, has agreed to join Brooklyn on a one-year, Exhibit 10 deal, a source told The Post — meaning it’s essentially a tryout contract.
The expectation is that he’ll compete for a roster spot in training camp, another source added.
Hayes worked out in front of the Nets, among other teams, recently in Las Vegas.
He was a free agent after a disappointing stint with the Pistons, who released him in February amid an ugly 14-win campaign.
Hayes, who turns 23 on Friday, struggled with his efficiency and 3-point shot, in particular, firing at a career 27.7 percent clip from beyond the arc.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
