Okorie Steps In as Pistons' Ball Handler | Detroit Pistons News

Ebuka Okorie, Detroit’s top draft pick, is primed for his NBA debut in the Las Vegas Summer League against the 76ers — and he’s exactly what the Pistons desperately needed: a primary ball handler who can create his own shot, make plays for others, and draw fouls. With a potential outside shot to boot, Okorie could become the team’s second-best playmaker right out of the gate. While the Pistons stocked up on shooters this offseason, they’ve left the handling void wide open — and Okorie’s performance in these high-stakes games could be the key to their future. Alongside two-way players Isaac Jones and Ugonna Onyenso, and veteran Elijah Harkless (pending roster move), all eyes are on Okorie to show he’s ready for the NBA grind.
