Top 5 most impressive prospects in the 2021 NBA Summer League who were drafted in Round 2 of this year's draft

#3 Luka Garza - Detroit Pistons

Detroit Pistons Introduce NBA Draft Pick Luka Garza

Next on the list is center Luka Garza of the Detroit Pistons. Garza was selected #52 overall in the 2021 NBA Draft. The Pistons struggled in their opening two games, but after giving Garza more minutes lately, they have managed to overturn their poor run of form. He has averaged 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per contest in just 19 minutes of playing time per game so far.

Garza scored 20 points and 14 rebounds in his most recent game against the LA Lakers. His performance was key for the team, who were without their guards Cade Cunningham and Killian Hayes. Garza is quite efficient with his shooting as well and has shot 52.9% from the field and, including 42.9% from the three-point line.

Luka Garza will give the Pistons some valuable minutes this season! Everyone wants to talk about what he’s not instead of acknowledging that what he is and that’s a very skilled big man! Carry the hell on...
