Pistons vs. Suns: Does shot selection matter in Summer League

Ebuka Okorie is obviously a talented basketball player with the kind of speed and intuition on how to deploy it that could be a difference-maker in the NBA. We have seen that throughout three games of Summer League so far. We’ve also see him struggle for a healthy dose of minutes. He’s taking a lot shots, and a lot of those shots are ill-advised. Does that even matter? It’s inarguable that he’ll have much better teammates on the real Detroit Pistons than he does on this Summer League team. It’s also true that he simply cannot afford to take these shots in a congested lane surrounded by three players. It’s simply unacceptable. And if it was a real game, I’d like to think it would be easy for him to defer and pass out of trouble. I guess, we will find out when the games really start to matter. Tonight’s game definitely does not matter. But it’s another chance to see Okorie at work.
