There are three separate tests of agility, quickness, and speed at the NBA Combine.

Lane Agility: 12.11 seconds (2016, 4th slowest among those tested) 11.81 seconds (2017, 34th)

Shuttle Run: 2.9 seconds (2016, T-10th) 2.94 seconds (2017, T-8th)

3/4 Court Sprint: 3.2 seconds (2016, T-8th) 3.27 seconds (2017, T-18th)

These are another set of drills where Hayes’ having that extra nine pounds from 2016 is not terribly helpful. Nonetheless, he dropped .3 second from his lane agility score and was only a touch slower on the shuttle and sprint. I would gladly refer any questions about his lane agility to Villanova.
