Ebuka Okorie is very quickly making a name for himself. He was drafted 17th overall after a stellar season at Stanford, and after having his draft rights traded to the Detroit Pistons, entered the summer hungry to prove himself. All throughout NBA Summer League, Okorie did exactly what he set out to do, ending the summer on a high note.

Despite the Pistons dropping their final game of summer league to finish 1-4, Okorie finished the night with 27 points, four rebounds, and three assists in the 101-87 loss to the Miami Heat.

Okorie averaged 18.6 points, 4.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.4 steals in the five games and was the biggest star for the Pistons all summer long. Even though he struggled in some areas, particularly with contact in driving lanes and finishing, Okorie's passing and defensive abilities allowed him to still contribute in every scenario.

The Pistons' backcourt will be led by Cade Cunningham, but when it comes to the two-guard spot, the starting job is up for grabs. Duncan Robinson ended last season as the starter, but has primarily been a forward throughout his career. The Pistons could look to utilize a more dynamic playmaker who complements Cunningham, and Okorie's summer league performance suggests he could fit that role.

In college, Okorie took the basketball world by storm after averaging over 23 points, three rebounds and three assists for the Cardinal while establishing himself as Stanford's offensive focal point early on.

Putting together one of the best seasons for a freshman in ACC history, Okorie received numerous accolades at the end of the season, such as First-Team All-ACC and ACC All-Rookie Team honors.

For the Cardinal to lose a player like that will be tough, but having developed Okorie into the player he is now, the program has confidence the incoming players can help fill the void. 

Originally committed to Harvard out of high school, Okorie put together a dominant final season at Brewster Academy in New Hampshire. 

After winning the New Hampshire Boys Gatorade Player of the Year, he flipped his decision in order to play for a Power Four school. With a world-class education that rivals Harvard's, Stanford proved to be the perfect fit.

Okorie has a long way to go to be a star in the NBA, but if his fast start in summer league is any indication, he could be on track to be one of the best Stanford Cardinal players to reach the pros.
