The Detroit Pistons’ offseason moves into the next phase tonight when they will take on the Orlando Magic in the first game of Summer League.
The game will be shown on ESPN and will showcase a lot of young talent, including Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren and rookies Ausar Thompson, Marcus Sasser, Anthony Black and Jett Howard.
We expect some of these players to turn into stars, or at least role players, so if they have big games, no one will be surprised. But nearly every year in Summer League, there is at least one player that no one has ever heard of who has some big outings and convinces fans that he’ll be a contributor on an NBA roster.
