Detroit Pistons: Ceiling and floor for Detroit’s under-25’s
Detroit Pistons: Floor and ceiling for Saben Lee
Ceiling: Quality backup point-guard
Floor: Career in the G-leauge
Saben Lee has flashed some ability in the small amount of playing time he’s gotten. He can get into the lane and has good vision in traffic. He’s not going to be a star, but he could be a quality backup point guard and is worth a look.
Detroit Pistons: Floor and ceiling for Svi Mykhailiuk
Ceiling: Starting two-guard who hits 40 percent from 3-point range
Floor: Fringe bench scorer
Mykhailiuk has shown the ability to shoot the 3-point shot, which is a valuable skill but he still hasn’t carved out a consistent role for himself.
He also has plus-size for the position and there are times when he looks like a poor man’s Klay Thompson. But other times he misses shots and doesn’t contribute much else, so Svi is hard to gauge.
Hopefully, he’ll get more minutes so the Detroit Pistons can get a better understanding of where he fits.
Detroit Pistons: Floor and ceiling for Killian Hayes
Ceiling: Star point guard
Floor: Bust
Unfortunately, we haven’t seen nearly enough of Killian Hayes to get a feel for what he can be, and now he is out for the season with a serious injury that could affect him long-term.
That makes Hayes the most difficult to judge. He has the size and skill set to be a star in the NBA, but if his shot never comes around or he never fully recovers from his hip injury, then he still has bust potential.
It’s too early to tell and not much has changed about that since the Pistons’ drafted him. We didn’t really know what the Pistons had then and we still don’t.
