San Antonio has one of the best front offices in the league and they’ve done great job identifying young talent. At 21-years old, Wisconsin’s Nigel Hayes isn’t exactly young, but he is a versatile front court option for the Spurs. With the San Antonio big men all getting up there in age, drafting depth up front would be an understandable decision.
Hayes would be a good complimentary player in San Antonio. He has struggled for the Badgers this season after taking on a much larger role in the offense following the departures of Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker. His three-point percentage has dropped to 33.0 percent as he’s increased his attempts per 40 minutes from 3.1 to 4.0. His two-point percentage has taken an even more precipitous drop. However, when Hayes was the beneficiary of playing with a more well-rounded roster, he flourished. As a sophomore, Hayes knocked down 39.6 percent of this threes and 54.1 percent of his twos. In the NBA, Hayes won’t be a primary scoring option, but his history of success as a role player should translate well. At 6-8 with a nearly 7-4 wingspan and weighing in at 240 pounds, Hayes could also turn into a flexible defender at the next level.
