Holland’s Two-Way Impact, Lanier’s Shooting Lift Pistons Over Rockets

The Detroit Pistons rode a balanced effort and defensive intensity to a 98–83 Summer League win over the Houston Rockets, with Ron Holland II and Chaz Lanier standing out on both ends of the floor.

Holland continued to make his case as Detroit’s most impactful young player, scoring 15 points on 41.7% shooting while hitting 2-of-6 from deep. Beyond his scoring, Holland flashed his defensive chops, recording 3 steals and consistently pressuring Houston’s perimeter players.

Lanier complemented him with an aggressive offensive approach, scoring 14 points while knocking down 4 three-pointers despite shooting just 35.7% overall.

For the Rockets, Reed Sheppard struggled to find his rhythm. The rookie guard scored 18 points, but shot just 31.6% from the field and hit only 1-of-7 from three, while committing 6 turnovers. Sheppard did contribute 4 steals defensively, showing his instincts remain a plus even on an inefficient night.

Scout’s Take

Holland’s defensive versatility and intensity continue to shine, making him one of the more well-rounded prospects in Summer League. Lanier’s shooting, even on off nights, shows why he could carve out a 3-and-D role. For Sheppard, the rough shooting and turnovers are growing pains, but his defense still pops.

Michael Misa Could Fill Sharks’ Biggest Need Down the Middle The San Jose Sharks have been busy this offseason, adding veteran talent on the wings through trades and free agency — but one glaring hole remains at center. And they may already have the answer. Much of the offseason speculation in San Jose has centered on whether No. 2 overall pick Michael Misa will make the jump to the NHL this fall. Looking at the Sharks’ current roster, there’s certainly a spot waiting if he’s ready. Misa projects as a natural center, though his versatility allows him to shift to the wing if needed. With the Sharks’ deep stable of wingers, that likely won’t be necessary right away — especially with the center depth chart in need of a boost. Wings Stacked, Center Thin San Jose loaded up on the flanks this summer, trading for rugged right winger Ryan Reaves and signing Philipp Kurashev to join Tyler Toffoli and Adam Gaudette.
