Skilled and smooth with a natural feel for the game, [player_tooltip player_id='2451130' first='Jarvis' last='Hayes Jr.'] continues to trend upward. He's comfortable operating on or off the ball, showing touch from the perimeter and the ability to create his own shot when needed. Hayes plays with good pace and doesn't force action, letting the game come to him. His size allows him to see over defenders and make plays others can't.

Productive, versatile and consistent, [player_tooltip player_id='2425890' first='Tatum' last='Holmes'] is a matchup problem with his size and skill set.
