Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -2.56.
The assist-and-steal instincts are genuine, the 38% shooting is genuinely ruinous, and he hasn't strung together a real season's worth of games — our sub-30 expectation says don't plan around him. Deep-league dimes patch on the weeks he's upright.
Killian Hayes enters 2026-27 at #323 on our board — Round 27 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 6.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 19.5 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and free-throw percentage, with scoring the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-scoring builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 28 games, which is priced into his draft value.
