Galatasaray has been showing interest in acquiring Jeff Ayres and Nigel Hayes, according to Eurohoops sources.
Jeff Ayres played with Eskisehir Basket last season averaging 10.7 points and 8.2 rebounds in the Turkish League. The 31-year-old big man also has NBA and EuroLeague experience, most notably, he was a part of the San Antonio Spurs 2013-14 championship team.
Hayes, on the other hand, has been trying to find a spot in an NBA team for the past few years. The closest he was to it were 10-day contracts with the LA Lakers and Toronto Raptors while also playing five games with the Sacramento Kings this year. The 23-year-old American forward also played in the G-League last season and was selected in the NBA G-League All-Rookie Team.
After hiring head coach Ertugrul Erdogan, Galatasaray has been busy in search of new signings as they have also shown interest in Alen Omic and Hollis Thompson.
