By Joe Imburgia
The NBA offseason marches on as the 2017 NBA Summer League approaches with games getting underway on July 1st, and the Detroit Pistons’ roster has been announced.
The Detroit Pistons summer league is set begin in Orlando this week and their Summer League roster has been announced.
The focal points of this team should be this year’s first round pick Luke Kennard, and last year’s draft picks Henry Ellenson and Michael Gbinije. Piston fans will be able to get a first look at Kennard and his “polished offensive game” as Stan Van Gundy would say.

It will also be interesting to see Ellenson again after a year in the NBA in which he wasn’t given much playing time. Stan Van Gundy should hope to see these guys perform well vs this type of competition.
Another interesting name to keep an eye on is Pierre Jackson. The former Baylor point guard has played stints in the G-League, Europe, and with the Dallas Mavericks last season.
He most likely won’t be on the Pistons roster next year but is a fun player to watch.
