НБА. «Кингз» предложили Чаку Хэйесу 4-летний контракт

Chuck Hayes + Ace post defender who is physical and quick. Can guard any spot on floor. + Terrible foul shooter with bad hitch in stroke. Good passer. Only shoots layups. + Solid rebounder but a below-rim player. High-character guy. Great toughness. It’s amazing that Hayes is such a good defensive center at just 6-6. He’s immovable in the post because of his strength, plus he uses his lack of height as an advantage by getting underneath opponents and using leverage against them. And despite lacking size, he had one of the lowest foul rates at his position. But Hayes is quick for his size and knows what he’s doing out there, so his pick-and-roll coverage is exquisite, and despite playing below the rim he has a respectable rebound rate for a 5. Offensively, he’s had a harder time, but last season he found enough layups that he finished with a top-20 PER at his position -- despite getting his shot blocked on a staggering 15.9 percent of his attempts (see Emeka Okafor comment). No, he can’t finish in traffic, but he moved so well off the ball last season that he still scored at a solid clip. Hayes has made himself comfortable dishing from the high post, ranking second among centers in pure point rating, and hit a career-high 66.2 percent from the line. His field goal percentage looks like a fluke, accounting for much of his PER spike, and he’ll be hard-pressed to repeat it. Nonetheless, he’s made himself a valuable performer despite giving up half a foot to many opponents.
