The major stat where Killian Hayes is dominating the entire league lately!
Bally Sports Detroit (DR)
Back on the Pistons bench for a few games, Killian Hayes is experiencing a contrasting period within his franchise. He can still be satisfied with the month he has just delivered in a specific statistical field, where he outclasses all the competition!
However, he had not started the year 2023 in the best way. Suspended after his guilty crack against the Magic, Killian Hayes subsequently delivered interesting performances with the Pistons. Victim of a slight slack in recent days, and in particular a match that infuriated the fansthe young tricolor leader is happily making up for it by other means, and in a very good way.
Killian Hayes, statistical king of the league in January
Always publicly supported by his coach, Hayes nevertheless laments a sharp decline in his recent offensive performance. Leaded by his marksmanship, he therefore tries to contribute to the efforts of his team on the other side of the field. So much so that his name can now be found on the prestigious list of statistical leaders for the month of January, thanks to his talents… as an interceptor!
January leaders:
PPG — Joel Embiid
RPG—Steven Adams
APG — Nikola Jokic
SPG — Killian Hayes
BPG — Jaren Jackson Jr.
FGM—LeBron James
3PM — Damian Lillard

With 2.2 stolen balls per game last month, Hayes is doing better than renowned experts in the field like Jimmy Butler (2.1), Alex Caruso (2.0) or Kawhi Leonard (1.9). Something to remember that his defense was one of the assets that allowed him to be selected in 7th position for the 2020 Draft. And when some had difficulty believing in this feat, others continued to lead the propaganda in his favor:
I’ll be damned, Killian Hayes.

Shit then, Killian Hayes.
And they claim Hayes is a bust

And say they hammer that Hayes is a bust
Failing to shine offensively as he has done in the past, Killian Hayes fell back on defense during the month of January, and quite simply placed himself as the best interceptor in the league over the period. A nice snub to his haters!
