Promising Guard Derailed by Injury at Fairleigh Dickinson
Lonnie Hayes showed real offensive potential as FDU's leading scorer during the 2011-12 season, averaging 13.0 PPG while orchestrating the offense with 4.1 APG and 3.3 RPG. The Cincinnati native demonstrated playmaking ability and scoring touch before a season-ending injury in late December cut short his campaign. Hayes' combination of scoring and assist numbers suggested a capable floor general, though his 34.3% field goal percentage raised efficiency concerns. His injury history and limited sample size make him a high-risk, high-reward prospect requiring careful evaluation of his recovery and current form.
