Daily Knicks reports Nigel Hayes signed a partially guaranteed deal with the New York Knicks. Hayes adds his name to the 15-man roster for their upcoming training camp.
Nigel Hayes tested the NBA waters after the 2015-2016 season. But instead, he chose to return to Wisconsin for his senior year. Hayes was Wisconsin’s second-leading scorer. He went undrafted in this year’s draft, but was just recently signed to a partial deal with the Knicks.
Hayes played in six Summer League games for the Knicks. He started two and averaged 4.3 ppg on 41.
