Killian Hayes Faces Uncertain Future In Detroit
1 year agoDetroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes faces increased competition and could be heading for the exit soon. The Pistons have Cade Cunningham healthy again, another top-five pick in Jaden Ivey, and have brought in veteran Monte Morris this offseason, along with Marcus Sasser, whose rights were acquired via a trade with Memphis on draft day. James L. Edwards III of The Athletic believes that the Pistons will likely trade Hayes before the 2023-24 campaign starts, or the team is trying to "light a fire" under Hayes and get more out of him with added competition for playing time. Hayes averaged 28.3 minutes last season and put up 10.3 points with 6.2 assists and 1.4 steals. He started 56 of his 76 games, but the situation looks to be very different for him if he stays in Motown.
