The Detroit Pistons’ 2020 rookie class was possibly the best in the NBA this season. While none of the Pistons’ picks had rookie-of-the-year caliber seasons, the collection of Killian Hayes, Isaiah Stewart, Saddiq Bey, and Saben Lee showed immense potential as building blocks for the team’s future.
Out of all four of Detroit’s rookies, Stewart has shown to have possibly the highest ceiling. The 6-8 center affectionately called “Beef Stew” played much of the 2020-2021 season as the backup to Mason Plumlee.
