As SOON as you finish this article, check out the amazing piece by Jack Kelly about Killian Hayes’ move to the bench, which takes a closer look at the young Detroit Pistons point guard’s offensive and all-around game. For this breakdown, I wanted to focus on the defensive end of the floor, where Hayes seems to be more successful.
As we all know, Killian has developed the reputation of being an excellent defender for the Pistons, and I believe it myself. Because I am going into this with a positive view of his defense, I wanted to watch (and rewatch) a few games and take a closer look at his defensive contributions.
