I agree with kammrath. After watching more of Hayes, he is going to be really really good I think. The thing is, a player with multiple great skills, feel for the game, able to get in the paint and score easily from under the basket. Its ok when there is a skill or two you lack (right hand, spot up shooting), when you have so many other skills.
The more skills you have, the easier you are going to adapt. If you only have one skill , and it turns out to not work, you are really going to struggle.
In general, for players not being able to get easy in the paint and score from under the basket, whatever the style, through layups, dunks, or posting up, or combinations - this lack of ability is one major indicator for struggling in the NBA. If you cant get to basket and score, you really will rely on outside shooting, and contributing in other ways, and then it gets hard if you are not elite shooter, or even if you are elite shooter in college but not in the NBA.
Hayes is a very safe pick. Different guard than Haliburton. Gets much better to the basket than Tyrese does. They both have the feel for game and adapting to situations. Haliburton is far better shooter. However, Hayes can post up, and make the mid range jumper as well under pressure.
Hayes may be the best player from this draft. Haliburton up there as well. One of those two would be the best from this class to pair up with Luka, and a level below them would be Bane IMO.
