Detroit — Pistons rookie Saddiq Bey is used to not being in the spotlight. It’s not a position that he naturally gravitates toward, but with the season he’s having, he may not be able to stay in the background for much longer.

For the first time all season, the Pistons’ three first-round draft picks started the game together. And it was sure fun to watch. We’ve seen them all impress at times individually, but seeing it all happen at the same time felt different. Isaiah Stewart was a man among boys even at only 19 years old.
