Most of the talk around the Detroit Pistons’ Summer League has focused on the exciting play of Ron Holland II, but there may be more than one NBA player lurking on the roster. One NBA analyst thinks that player is Tolu Smith.
Daniss Jenkins played well in Summer League and looks like a viable “break-in-case-of-emergency" point guard and Smith was once again one of the best big men in the league, averaging 13 points, eight rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game.
It was his mobile defense that caught the eye of John Hollinger of The Athletic (subscription), who named Smith as one of his players to watch from the Summer League.
