Pistons close Summer League with double-digit win over Magic as top picks sit

A Summer League game between the Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic was played on Saturday, but it didn't live up to the potential of what could've been if three of the top 13 overall picks from last month's draft had been available.

Which might've been a good thing for the Pistons, because it offered an opportunity to evaluate players looking to prove themselves in the NBA.

Paolo Banchero, the Magic's top overall draft choice, and Pistons rookies Jaden Ivey (No. 5) and Jalen Duren (No. 13) watched from the bench as the Detroit (3-2) closed its Summer League schedule with a 102-86 win over the Magic (2-3) at Thomas and Mack Center.
