Detroit Pistons' NBA summer league roster highlighted by recent top draft picks
The Detroit Pistons' summer league roster will be headlined by a lot of new faces — and a few returning ones.
The team announced its 18-player roster for NBA summer league in Las Vegas from July 7-17, on Friday. In addition to last week's fifth overall pick Ausar Thompson and 25th pick Marcus Sasser, the roster includes Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, James Wiseman, Isaiah Livers and Eugene Omoruyi. Livers and Omoruyi had their 2023-23 team options picked up by the Pistons earlier this week.
The roster also includes 2022-23 two-way guards Buddy Boeheim and Jared Rhoden, Michigan alumnus Zavier Simpson and undrafted free agent Tosan Evbuomwan, who the team signed to an Exhibit-10 contract last week.
