Son of a former American basketball player DeRon Hayes, Killian Hayes is a 6-foot-5 inch point guard who last played for the Detroit Pistons in the NBA. Born in Lakeland, Florida, young Hayes moved with his father to Cholet, France, where he played out the rest of his professional career and groomed his son’s basketball skills.
Hayes played basketball at the youth level for his father’s former team, Chloe Basket, where he developed as a defensive-minded point guard. In 2016, he joined the LNB under-21 league and played for the Espoirs Cholet, putting up 4.7 points and 2.3 assists in his debut season.
Hayes erupted in his second season for Espoirs Cholet, averaging 16.6 points and 7.2 assists per game. Later that year, he made his LNB Pro A debut for Cholet Basket at age 16, making him one of the youngest players to make their professional debut.
After his second season with Cholet Basket, Hayes committed to a three-year contract in August 2019 with the ratiopharm Ulm of the Basketball Bundesliga and registered 15 points and six assists on his debut. In late March 2020, Hayes declared for the 2020 NBA Draft, where he was picked seventh overall by the Pistons. After three and half disappointing seasons, the Detroit Pistons waived Hayes in early 2024.
