Wouldn’t hate if Ron sat out and we gave the keys to Bobi to be our #1 option.

Yeah the Daniss stuff is nice to see, but I wanna see Bobi get aggressive and look for his own shot a bit more.

It's been 7 years since our last summer league battle against the TWolves in which Henry Ellenson dropped 7/7 on 3-17 shooting in the Pistons win. Bruce Brown looked like the best player on the court that night dropping in 15 points, 11 boards, 6 assists, 5 steals and a block on 6-13. It was clear the Pistons rookie 2nd round pick Bruce Brown was the most NBA ready player on the Pistons summer league roster that season.

As far as this season goes, Minny is also 2-0 like Detroit so this should be a good one. The TWolves are starting Joan Beringer, the French center they took with what was our #17 pick they got from the Knicks in the KAT trade.

Klintman looks like he was a wasted pick. Holland playing poorly; he's back to earth. Liking Smith despite his limitations.

I mean, he’s played 10 minutes in this game, and played previously as well….

Like most young players, Holland is turning the ball over when he's the man, but man is he a difference maker.

Most things don't translate to the league, but the shooting does, and Ron has put in WORK.

Klintman has talent, but he looks to pass 9 times of 10. Many times, he could shoot but elects to pass instead

Ron’s trying to carry the squad but doesn’t have the handle for it (yet). Don’t really care, good to see him getting to be the alpha.

Nothing worse then players who have the shot, and don't take it. Drives me absolutely wild.

Many times, he can pull up from 12-18 feet out, but instead tries forcing passes thru crowds. Unforced turnovers drive me nuts

Return to Detroit Pistons
