LATEST UPDATE: Killian Hayes is expected to sign a contract with the Spurs this season, according to Bleacher Report.

The most likely team to sign guard Killian Hayes of the Detroit Pistons is the San Antonio Spurs.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes is looking for a new home … and the San Antonio Spurs could be an option.

Bleacher Report is predicting that Hayes will sign with the Spurs this season

According to Bleacher Report, “the point guard-starved, future-focused San Antonio Spurs feel like a perfect fit.” “A pass-first point guard can look pretty good when passing to a transcendent talent like Victor Wembanyama (just ask Tre Jones), and the Spurs need more players to set the table for their phenomenal freshman.”

22-year-old Hayes was nearing the end of his contract and will be eligible for restricted free agency next summertime. Detroit cut Hayes to give him the chance to find a new home since Cade Cunningham is the Pistons’ future point guard.

Hayes might be useful to a team like the Spurs. Victor Wembanyama is said to perform best when he plays next to a point guard. Wembanyama’s finest combinations have included Tre Jones, but giving him control over the whole offense still seems uneasy.

Playing the Frenchman Hayes might help him and Wembanyama develop a rapport. He would be available to the Spurs for a few months to assess before a decision was made regarding him in free agency.

Acquiring Hayes would be a low-risk, high-reward situation that provides the Spurs with additional information to examine as they go with their reconstruction.
