'1A and 1B': Pistons plan to have Cade Cunningham, Killian Hayes share playmaking roles

During the draft process, one of the big questions was if the Pistons drafted Cade Cunningham at No. 1 overall, what would they do Killian Hayes, the point guard they selected at No. 7 overall last year?

The thinking was that there can’t be two point guards on the court at the same time and that if they picked Cunningham, it might mean that Hayes would either have to come off the bench or be traded.

That’s not the case at all.

Cunningham and Hayes can complement each other well, and in their first practices in preparation for Summer League, the Pistons already have begun the process of meshing their two talented ball-handlers.
