Did the Detroit Pistons just draft Killian Hayes’ replacement?

The Detroit Pistons drafted experienced point guard Marcus Sasser in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft, which could have an effect on Killian Hayes.

Hayes hasn’t progressed as much offensively as the Pistons would have liked, but he’s still just 21-years-old, and has shown he can be a very good passer while defending at a high level. But Hayes was one of the NBA’s worst shooters the last two seasons, a fact that can’t be overlooked when thinking about the future.

So it is possible that Killian Hayes’ time in Detroit could be over soon, but the addition of Marcus Sasser doesn’t necessarily mean the end for Hayes.
