Cam Hayes - College Basketball News & Rumors

Struggles in reserve role Hayes logged two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one assist and one steal across 14 minutes during Saturday's 83-81 loss to Florida State.

Impact Hayes went scoreless on 0-for-6 shooting in a Dec. 29 matchup against Miami, and that led to him coming off the bench for the first time this season. He didn't seem to respond well, collecting more turnovers (3) than points scored (2). It's been a swift downturn in production considering this is a player who reached double figures nine times in 10 games earlier this season, but it looks like he'll have to earn back his spot, starting with another ACC matchup Tuesday at Virginia Tech.

Plays through cramping Hayes had 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 79-65 win over Central Connecticut State.

Impact Hayes saw less than his usual workload in this contest, which Rivals.com reports was due to ongoing cramping issues. Still, he was one of three Wolfpack players in double figures as the team improved to 3-0 on the season. Freshman Terquavion Smith saw some extra point guard minutes off the bench as a result of Hayes being limited, but given the mild nature of the injury, Hayes should be set to serve as the primary ball handler moving forward.

Not in starting group Hayes won't start Saturday's clash with Duke.

Impact Hayes is one of two players moving out of the starting group Saturday, and it's been reported, per Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer, that there has been a stomach bug going through the locker room. It's unclear if that is at play in Hayes' case or if he's simply just part of a lineup change.

Not starting Saturday Hayes will come off the bench for Saturday's game against North Carolina, C.L. Brown of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

He is averaging 8.2 points per game while shooting an impressive 54.1 percent from the floor as a freshman.

Available to play Tuesday Hayes (undisclosed) is available to play in Tuesday's game against North Carolina.

Impact Hayes will end his two game absence on Tuesday for an undisclosed issue. It's not clear if he will be directly inserted back into the starting lineup yet or not, however. Hayes is averaging 11.3 points, 5.3 assists, and 2.0 steals per game this season.

DECEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Uncertain to play Tuesday Hayes (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision for Tuesday's tilt with North Carolina, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Hayes and DJ Funderburk (undisclosed) will presumably be evaluated during the Wolfpack's shootaround and pregame warmups before the coaching staff makes a call shortly before the 9 p.m. ET tipoff on whether either player is fit to a return from a two-game absence. If Hayes remains sidelined, Braxton Beverly and Shakeel Allen would likely take on more ball-handling responsibilities.

DECEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Saturday Hayes (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's game against Campbell, Pack Pride reports.

Impact Hayes is set for his second consecutive absence for an undisclosed reason, leaving the Wolfpack down a major contributor again. Fortunately, the Wolfpack should be able to take care of business Saturday without him, but Tuesday's game against North Carolina would prove much more challenging if he can't return for that contest. Look for Braxton Beverly to see the most time on the ball with Hayes sidelined.

DECEMBER 19, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Not available Thursday Hayes did not travel with the team and is not available for Thursday's game against St. Louis for undisclosed reasons, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Hayes is joined by DJ Funderburk and three other NC State players on the list of unavailable players Thursday.

Big game off bench once again Hayes recorded 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six assists and a steal in 21 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 90-59 win over UMass.

Impact Hayes started on the bench for the third straight contests, but the fact that he ranked third in minutes played -- behind only Devon Daniels and Jericole Hellems -- suggests the coaching staff still rates him highly and are just taking him slowly. The freshman has now posted back-to-back double-digit scoring games and his figures have been rising steadily, so it might be just a matter of time before he earns his first college start. That might happen as soon as Saturday at Connecticut.

Thrives off bench Hayes posted 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six assists and a steal across 19 minutes off the bench during Friday's 86-51 win over North Florida.

Impact Hayes started preseason as a candidate to become the Wolfpack's starting point guard and while that hasn't been the case yet, he delivered a strong case to earn the job Friday in limited minutes. This was an improved effort compared to what he did in the season opener where he only registered four points while making just one of his five shots from the field. He does have 10 assists in his two appearances so far, so his passing ability and court vision have been as good as advertised. He might have to settle for a bench role Monday against William & Mary, but he seems to be trending in the right direction after an underwhelming debut.
