Bones Hyland is the only true point guard left in their rotation, but DiVincenzo has been serviceable as a starting ballhandler and Ayo also provides some great handling. How this group fares down the stretch will be informative as to whether they go shopping for another ballhandler this summer.

When KAT was traded, the Randle, Gobert, Reid front court rotation became an essential part of the team flourishing in the playoffs. However, after resigning Reid and Randle, the questions still surround if this fit can achieve the ultimate goal of a championship supporting Edwards.

While Cunningham is a premier player, the Pistons have been looking for a solution at backup point guard for a while now, including bringing in Dennis Schroder. The stretch run and playoffs should shine some light about whether Daniss Jenkins is part of this answer.

This past offseason, Detroit was unable to reach a deal to extend Jalen Duren, leaving the team to balance his restricted free agency with pivotal extension decisions for Ausar Thompson and possibly Isaiah Stewart.

Lebron will likely be the ultimate last-say, but the Lakers also have a decision on whether this is a sustainable partnership.

The Ayton signing made some sense, especially if he can become consistently aggressive as a roll man. But past that, returning Jaxson Hayes and not upgrading in rim protection could spell trouble for the Lakers driving them right back to the drawing board for a center this summer.

Hartenstein was one of two big outside acquisitions 2 summers ago.

JWill’s has taken a definite step forward, but it is questionable whether that is translatable in more consistent minutes.
