Orlando — With Killian Hayes’ move to the second unit, he’s starting to find some smoother sailing and feeling more comfortable in his play.
One of the benefits is getting to play more with big man Marvin Bagley III. The two have found some chemistry, with Bagley being the lob target that enables Hayes to utilize one of his strengths, either in transition or in certain matchups in half-court sets.
It’s been a work in progress, but the early signs are encouraging. If the Pistons are able to hold on to Bagley, who likely will be a restricted free agent this summer, they can build a solid foundation to their depth.
