The Detroit Pistons are halfway through their Summer League schedule, the perfect time for wild overreactions about what we’ve seen so far.
Detroit beat Orlando in the first game, a sloppy effort with spirited defense and a whole lot of turnovers. The Pistons lost game two against the rival Rockets, as Jabari Smith Jr. went off for 38 points and Detroit didn’t have much of an answer.
There was plenty to work on and plenty to like in both games, and fans have reason to be excited about Ausar Thompson, Marcus Sasser and the development of Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren.
