Low-usage South Dakota guard who brings rebounding and efficient scoring
Hayes has been a steady, role-oriented guard for South Dakota, with career NCAA production around 5.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game, plus a strong 54.4% field-goal mark in ESPN’s current profile. His value shows up more in activity and versatility than in high-volume shot creation: he has posted a career-high 14 rebounds and 13 points, suggesting a player who can impact possessions without dominating the ball. For teams, he looks like a fit if you want toughness, efficiency, and guard rebounding rather than a primary scorer.
