Detroit will be one of the big teams to watch in Las Vegas. They have a stacked summer league roster and could be one of the favorites.
The No. 5 pick in the 2023 draft, Ausar Thompson, will be the biggest name to watch on the Pistons. It will be the highest profile stage Thompson will in, as he developed with Overtime Elite and did not play college basketball.
The No. 5 pick in the 2022 draft, Jaden Ivey, is also in the Pistons' Summer League roster. He averaged 16.3 points per game in his rookie season.
Former top-five pick James Wiseman is also on the roster. Detroit traded for him from Golden State, and he will look to build momentum and raise his stock back up. He will try to prove that he deserves a bigger role with the Pistons next season.
Marcus Sasser was one of the best players in college basketball last season with Houston. He will look to prove that he deserves major minutes with the Pistons this season. Jalen Duren is another name to watch on this deep squad. He's in his second year in the NBA out of Memphis.
Former NBA star Jarret Jack will be the coach of the squad. He's an assistant for the Pistons and played college basketball at Georgia Tech. Jack played in the NBA from 2005 to 2018.
