What happened: Detroit's Summer League roster is set up to give Ebuka Okorie extended reps running the offense. The group around him includes Chaz Lanier, Isaac Jones and Ugonna Onyenso, giving the Pistons scorers and size to play alongside their lead guard.

Why it matters: Summer League is the first real look at whether Ebuka Okorie can initiate an NBA offense rather than play off the ball. Getting on-ball reps now shapes how Detroit projects his role entering the 2026-27 season and how it builds the rotation behind its established guards.

What to watch: Watch how much creation load Okorie carries once games tip off, and whether Lanier, Jones and Onyenso settle into complementary roles around him.
