Israeli giants: If the forward star does not join the Suns, we will sign him

According to European basketball media Eurohoops, Ofer Yannay, the owner of the Israeli League giant Maccabi Tel Aviv, said in an interview that Nigel Hayes-Davis, the forward star who joined the Phoenix Suns this summer, had already reached an oral agreement with the team. The player who played for Turkish League powerhouse Fenerbahce last season joined the Suns on a one-year basic salary contract. Yannay said: We were sure that we could bring in Hayes Davis, and we were sure that this was what was about to happen. He wanted to start a rush to the NBA at that time, and he told me that we would find a way to win a contract from an NBA team. If I can't do that, I will join your team. In the end, he got the contract from the Suns, so we had no way to sign him again.

Hayes Davis was born in December 1994 and is 30 years old, 203cm tall and weighs 103kg. He was the undraft in the 2017 NBA Draft. He played for the Los Angeles Lakers, Toronto Raptors and Sacramento Kings in the 2017-18 season. In the NBA, Hayes Davis made a total of 9 appearances, averaging 13.6 minutes per game, with 3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.2 steals, 0.3 blocks, 0.2 turnovers and 0.9 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 33.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 25%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 33.3%. Hayes' performance in the NBA arena is very average. He only stayed in the NBA for one season before leaving the NBA and playing for Europe.

In the Turkish League last season, Hayes Davis made a total of 36 appearances, averaging 25.2 minutes per game, averaging 13.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1 turnover and 1.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 46.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 32.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 84.6%. In the Champions League last season, Hayes Davis made a total of 39 appearances, averaging 31.3 minutes per game, averaging 16.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 45.6%, three-point shooting percentage 41%, and free throw shooting percentage 90.8%. Hayes Davis made a phenomenal performance last season, helping the team win the Champions League, Turkish League and Turkish Cup, completing the Grand Slam. With his brave performance, Hayes Davis won the honors of the Champions League semi-finals MOP, the Champions League scoring champion and the Turkish Cup FMVP, and he was also shortlisted for the Champions League All-National Team. Hayes Davis' performance last season was amazing, and he was at the peak of his career, so it was very normal for him to return to the NBA and make a big deal in this situation. Hayes Davis signed a one-year basic salary contract with the Suns. The salary he can earn is not even as much as he does in European arenas, which also shows his determination to return to the NBA. I don’t know what kind of performance Hayes Davis, the best player in the European arena last season, can perform in the NBA field in the new season.
