Of players with at least 125 career starts, Killian Hayes has the lowest WS in NBA history at -0.6. He also has the 6th worst TS% of all time (min 125 starts)

45.5% career TS%

Why does Ivey come off the bench? Why does Killian still have a job?

I read an article recently from The Athletic and there was a question regarding Hayes vs Ivey and it seemed to basically come down to culture building and Ivey's development. Monty is trying to establish a culture of defense and rebounding vs offense which Hayes is more fitting to than Ivey. Monty also believes that Ivey hasn't earned his minutes over Hayes as he struggles with positioning, defense, turnovers, etc (all normal young guard things to struggle with). As far as Hayes vs anyone else, the situation right now may be just do to injuries and I wouldn't be surprised if the lineup changes again once Alec comes up to speed and Bojan recovers from his injury.
