2003 Scouting Report:
Strengths: Athletically he is an explosive leaper capable of creating some impressive dunks ... Defensively he shows above average lateral quickness and long arms to disrupt passing lanes ... Owns a nice hesitation move to gain separation from his defender on drives ... Wonderful finisher in transition where he makes full use of his athletic ability in the open court ... Plays defense with passion and intensity ... Because of his athleticism he does a good job of crashing the glass for rebounds ... When slashing to the lane Pietrus understands how to draw fouls ... Shows 3-point range on his jumper ... Solid post passer... Possess excellent body control to adjust his shot in mid-air... On defense he does a good job of using his quick hands to pressure the ball handler into a turnover ... Is a legitimate threat when moving without the ball on lay-ups or alley-oops ... Creative scorer who can be a hard player to defend when he is on top of his game ... Long arms and Leaping ability make it very hard for opposing players to pass over his head ...
Weakness: Could stand to add a tad bit more upper body strength to his physique ... Not a super shooter from the perimeter especially behind the three point line where he is inconsistent ... Can be a little too flashy for his own good and play out of control ... Needs to improve on shooting off the dribble from mid-range ... Doesn't always drive to the basket as he can settle for the jumper ... Fundamentally he shows a good grasp of the basic's but he still needs further mental development in terms of thinking the game ... Shot selection is a work in progress as he has a habit of forcing things offensively ... Ball handling has improved but could still stand refinement ... His on the court performance still goes through periods of inconsistency ... Some have questioned his maturity but to his credit he has worked on making this less of an issue ... Can be a little too aggressive on defense leading him to pick-up quick fouls ...

2003 Scouting Report:
Strengths: Quick first step enables him to gain solid separation from his defender... Might be the best player in the nation when it comes to moving without the ball... Unlike many young players Hayes is an wonderful mid-range shooter... Patient scorer who doesn't force many shots that are not there ... Above average athleticism allows him to be a solid finisher in transition ... Smart player who has a great feel for the game ... His game savvy enables him to recognize mismatches and use his height to his advantage ... Effectively uses screens and quick catches to gain good shot opportunities ... Unselfish player who doesn't demand the ball on every possession ... Has legit three point range on his jumper... When slashing to the basket he has the body control and strength to finish after contact... Plays with a lot of poise as he is not one to play out of control... Offensively he has the ability to take over a game with his shooting ... Can make some difficult shots no matter the defensive pressure ...
Weakness: Offensively Hayes needs to really focus on taking opposing defenders off the dribble ... Just an average passer at this point... Improved court vision would better aid him when it comes to creating scoring opportunities for his teammates ... Remains an average defender despite his quickness due to lack of intensity ... Could stand to work on expanding his post skills to become more efficient on mismatches ... Fails to recognize double teams ... Lacks the ball handling ability to consistently take opposing defenders to the basket on isolation plays ... Tends to be a little turnover prone as he can get careless with the ball... Settles too much for the perimeter jumper... Doesn't do a good job of drawing fouls ... Despite his athleticism he is not the rebounder one should be at his college position of small forward ... Would benefit if he was to use a couple pump fakes to bait defenders into jumping into him on shots ala Reggie Miller... Defensively he has to learn how to play the passing lanes better to gain easy steals ...

2003 Scouting Report:
Strengths: Defensively Blake shows quick hands and great anticipation skills to disrupt passing lanes for steals ... His superior court vision allows him to see the floor like few can ... When his feet are set he is a solid 3-point shooter... Has a lot of qualities you look for in a point guard: leadership, intelligence, poise and a solid grasp of the fundamentals ... Above average ball handler who does a great job of protecting the ball... Solid free throw shooter... Although he isn't the quickest player Blake makes up for it with his savvy and intensity ... Gym rat who possess a solid work ethic to improve ... Controls the tempo of a game like few can at his position ... Does a great job of getting teammates involved in the offense with his distribution ... Rebounds well for a point guard due to his decently long arms and toughness ... Mid-range shooting has become more consistent this past year... One of those players who does more than the numbers indicate ...
Weakness: Defensively Blake's average lateral quickness tends to hurt him when having to defend quicker guards ... Offensively he has problems creating scoring opportunities for himself... To compound matters he isn't all that great of a penetrator... This is due to his lack of explosiveness which doesn't allow for him to gain good separation from his defender... Still isn't all that great when having to shoot off the dribble from mid-range ... Will need to clean up his shooting mechanics on his jump shot as his release isn't fluid ... Still not all that comfortable when having to shoulder some of scoring load ... His lack of athleticism could catch up with him in the NBA ... Will need to develop more upper body strength and weight to his physique ... Tends to force passes that aren't there which can lead to turnovers ...
