If he has excelled for several games, Killian Hayes had to endure a very complicated start to the season, during which he was not spared by fans and observers. Silent throughout this difficult period, the Frenchman was nevertheless well aware of these repeated attacks, as Dwane Casey confided…
It never stops getting stronger, and it’s a joy to see. Clutch as possible to defeat Luka Doncic and the Mavericks Last night, Killian Hayes is passing a major milestone in his NBA career. However, his totally failed start to the campaign left many traces, and an erroneous reputation on social networks. Indeed, some Internet users have started to stick the humiliating label of “worst player in the league”.
Killian Hayes aware of the terrible reviews on him
A running gag that is anything but funny, and which has taken on a hell of a scale. Hayes never reacted to the situation itself, preferring to silence mouths with his actions on the court. But Pistons coach Dwane Casey recently confirmed that the former Cholet was well and truly aware of the countless criticisms directed at him. And we can imagine the weight of such a situation at only 21 years old…
Of course he hears what is being said around him. It’s really unfortunate that the internet exists, just for this reason. I would like him to have my approach, because I don’t even look at social networks. Killian surely feels like he has to score at all costs, but he doesn’t. He is our best playmaker, our best leader. It’s what he does best.
To hear such glowing words from his coach? Difficult to dream better when you are a young player who has experienced the roller coaster in the NBA. Especially since Casey then drove the point home, as if to tell observers to leave his foal alone once and for all:
People worry for the wrong reasons about this kid. Everyone talks about his shooting, but we need his leadership qualities. I am very proud of him. I have only good things to say about him.
With the full benefits he’s been providing for several weeks now, Hayes is quietly seeing the “worst player in the league” remarks slipping away. His successful outing against one of the league’s superstars appears to be his benchmark match, and it is now time to continue in this direction. In any case, he necessarily takes the time to savor a little:
It really feels good to get to the other side of the fence, and see things start to work. You have to keep working, and I work a lot. My coaches trust me, my teammates too… Yeah, it feels really good.
Raising his head after a disastrous start to the season, Killian Hayes shows all his mental strength, in addition to his obvious leadership qualities that make Dwane Casey salivate. Only one thing to wish: that it continues as long as possible!
