#JARVIS HAYES FULL#
I'm excited to be part of this talented staff and help this program reach its full potential."Īs a player, Hayes was the 10 th overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft by the Washington Wizards. I'm so thankful to coach Brewer for giving me this opportunity to begin my college coaching career, as he gave my brother the same opportunity over 13 years ago. "After retiring three years ago I was like a fish out of water and didn't know what was next for me. "It's absolutely an amazing feeling joining the Morehouse family," said Hayes.

He also served as a men's basketball analyst for the SEC Network and NBA TV. Prior to joining Morehouse, Hayes coached the Atlanta Celtics 17U AAU Team where he developed top talent that have gone on to commit to major DI programs. We gave Jarvis his first scholarship offer back in 1997, and now over 20 years later he joins the Morehouse family." He will strengthen our program in recruiting, on-court coaching and player development. "I've known Jarvis for a very long time and I know that he has an extremely strong work ethic that we will benefit greatly from. "We are very excited about having Jarvis as part of the Morehouse coaching staff," said coach Brewer. Thanks to DBB reader Glenn for the head's up.ATLANTA, GA – The Morehouse College basketball program and head coach Grady Brewer have announced the addition of former University of Georgia star and 2003 NBA lottery draft choice Jarvis Hayes as assistant basketball coach. Will Lindsey Hunter retire? Flip Murray be bought out? Mejia released? The Pistons have the rest of the summer to make that decision, so we'll probably have to wait and see. Even so, the Pistons already have 15 guys under contract, so someone has to go. Those three are all unproven while Hayes is a legitimate rotation guy, so getting deeper is getting better.

The real comparison shouldn't be between Delfino and Hayes, though, but rather between Hayes and Afflalo/Ronald Dupree/Sammy Mejia. The only real advantage Hayes has is shooting from long distance, where he shot. If you compare their seasons last year, you'll see Delfino had more assists, more rebounds, just two fewer steals and a better field-goal percentage despite playing far fewer minutes. In fact, even though Hayes is a legitimate small forward while Delfino was an off-guard playing out of position, I'm not sure Hayes is an actual improvement. I'm not sure his size is really an asset, though yes, he's two inches taller than Delfino, but that's kind of beside the point considering he's not as good of a defender and he makes his money shooting jump shots. Hayes may not have lived up to his billing as the former 10th overall pick in the 2003 draft, but he might not a horrible guy to play 15-20 minutes a night. Now I realize the Pistons had other plans all along. I was concerned about the small forward depth earlier this summer but eventually bought into the company line that Arron Afflalo could handle the job. But if we assume Hayes was had for a relatively modest one-year deal (he made just $2.5 million last year), it's not a bad move at all. Unfortunately, the Pistons didn't release any of the contract terms, including the length of the deal.
#JARVIS HAYES FREE#
1 pick Nick Young, chose not to extend a qualifying offer to Hayes, who was scheduled to be a restricted free agent. He got squeezed out in Washington when the Wizards, already heavily invested in their perimeter with Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison and No. Hayes is a more consistent outside shooter than Delfino and, at 6-foot-8, is bigger. "Jarvis has proven himself as a solid NBA player over the last four seasons and we like the flexibility and depth he will bring to our team at the small forward position." We are pleased to add Jarvis Hayes to our roster," Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars said in a statement. The Pistons announced today the signing of Jarvis Hayes.
