the old-school Kansas State spark plug with combo-guard instincts
Marcus Hayes is listed by Kansas State as a strong, athletic combo guard who “has a knack for getting his teammates the ball at the right time,” a profile that screams connector more than stat-stuffer. In his prep season at Oviedo, he averaged 18.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 2.2 steals while shooting 56.9% from the field and 45.6% from three, plus he earned first-team 6A All-State honors. He’s the kind of guard a coach likes: active, efficient, and unselfish, though his early-college availability was affected by a broken right foot.
