The Brooklyn Nets are progressing through their rebuild with the intent of prioritizing their young players along with their development during this down period in the franchise. Brooklyn continued with that process with the signing of former Detroit Pistons first-round pick Killian Hayes to a one-year deal, the details of which are slowly becoming available.
Evan Barnes of Newsday reported on Friday that Hayes’ one-year contract is non-guaranteed and is an Exhibit 10 deal. This news follows a report by Michael Scotto of HoopsHype about Brooklyn and Hayes agreeing to a one-year contract that was expected to be with the intent of seeing how he plays in training camp in the fall.
Per Spotrac, “Exhibit 9 and Exhibit 10 contracts are commonly referred to as “summer contracts” or “training camp contracts”. These players are being brought in to provide competition in training camp, to give coaches some extra bodies for drills and scrimmages, and sometimes to prove they are worthy of a regular season roster spot. Both Exhibit 9 and Exhibit 10 contracts are one-year, fully non-guaranteed contracts.”
Essentially, Hayes will have the chance to show what he can do during training camp and if he impresses, he could be on the team heading into the regular season. Hayes, 22, was the seventh overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons and in his four seasons, he averaged 8.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 38.2% from the field and 27.7% from three-point land.
Shout out to Evan for providing more details on Killian Hayes’ contract.

As @erikslater_ of ClutchPoints reported earlier this month, the Nets attended Killian Hayes’ workout while in Las Vegas. Hayes was the 7th overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft and is 3rd in assists per game (5.2) in his draft class. He could be a steal if he pans out in camp. https://t.co/8ULJbwrxVk
