a late-season spark with shot-making upside
Mayes profiles as a guard who can give Arizona a quick offensive jolt when his jumper is falling; in postseason play, he averaged 5.5 points in 11.8 minutes over his last four games while shooting 47% overall and 57.1% from three, a clear sign of scoring punch in a small package. He’s best viewed as a rhythm player rather than a volume creator, but when he’s confident he can stretch the floor and survive defensively. That makes him a useful fit for teams needing a steady bench guard who can hit timely shots and bring some competitive edge.
