## Resource

Detroit Pistons rookie Ebuka Okorie’s scorching NBA Summer League debut had fans buzzing, but back-to-back struggles raise fresh questions. Can Okorie adjust to heightened physicality and find his scoring touch again? Chaz Lanier’s lights-out shooting puts him in the spotlight—could his elite range earn him a rotation spot, or will his limited versatility keep him on the fringe? Ku Khahil breaks down Okorie’s on-court challenges, the impact of Detroit’s shaky summer lineups, and what Okorie must do to become a reliable creator next to Cade Cunningham. The conversation also highlights Lanier’s sharpshooting surge, drills down on key NBA skills needed to stay on the Pistons’ roster, and delivers exclusive insights into the Jalen Duren contract stalemate after networking with league insiders in Las Vegas. Can Detroit resolve this before August, or will uncertainty linger over the young core’s future?
