In the history of the Detroit Pistons, I’m not sure there has been a more polarizing player than Killian Hayes. Depending on who you ask, he’s either a total bust on his way to Shanghai, or a young budding star who just needs time and the right environment to succeed.
The former 7th pick is entering his 4th season, the final on his current contract. It’s possible he’ll get an extension this summer, but if not he will either be traded or become a free agent at the end of the season.
So Hayes was already in contractual purgatory and that was before the Detroit Pistons traded up to draft guard Marcus Sasser and then traded for veteran point guard Monte Morris, not exactly a ringing endorsement for Killian Hayes.
