I was looking at the Detroit Pistons preseason game box scores. In addition to the starting 5, there were 16 reserves. Of those only 7 saw court time. Tosan has had court time (although only a minute or two) in both of those games. This is encouraging. He must be showing something in practice. It would be nice to see him get a two-way contract.

and 3 minutes in game one. However, that is more than the other 7 who didn't see court time at all. I hope that that is an encouraging sign.

In his G-League debut, Tosan started and had a double-double: 11p/11r/2b. Team high +20 in a win. Made 1-2 threes. Pretty good considering he just stood in the corner on offense.
I know he's not going to be the primary ballhandler, but since it's G-League, why not let him try facilitating in short spurts? It's like Detroit didn't even watch his NCAA games.

From the early returns, the Pistons seemed to love Tosan's defense and rebounding more than his offensive game. They seemed to want him to be enough of a scoring threat to keep defenses honest, but not to initiate much. That might change over time.

Tosan picked up 7 assists (and 15pts) in 30min off the bench today - another win. I rifled through the ESPN+ replay and he got regular touches instead of standing in the corner all the time. Hopefully, the Pistons/Cruise are learning how good he is as a facilitator.

Tosan had his best game yet: team-high 24p/5a/5r/2s in a big comeback win. One of his 2 threes was a late game-tying shot that he let go with no hesitation. I didn't see the game live but I skipped through it on the G-League's YouTube channel:

Four games in, Tosan looks a lot more comfortable already. He's learning how to play his style of ball despite fewer touches. He's putting up very good, efficient stats while his team is 4-0. If Tosan keeps this up, he'll make his NBA debut by season's end.

Does the historically horrendous start for the Pistons this season make the possibility of Tosan getting called up to the bigs an opportunity or a threat?

I remembered that the Motor City Cruise played a couple of days ago and I looked to see how Tosan performed
MY GOD!!
24 points on 10-13 shooting with 4 of 5 from 3.
17 rebounds and 4 assists.

Wow! Crushing it. Some canny GM on another team ought to propose a trade where Tosan is just a “throw-in” to the “main” transaction. Get a steal.

"We've had his name float around recently with major ball clubs. He's got a lot of eyes on him; some good things are in store for him."
I'm guessing Tosan makes his NBA debut by season's end. If not for the Pistons, then for someone else.

In last game, Tosan only had 11 points on 4-7 shooting, but had 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks. The Motor City Cruise won.

Yeah, I watched some of that one. His D was very impressive. Even more impressive was that the announcers pronounced his name correctly. They also said that when they brought up his name with the Cruise coach, he smiled.

Pistons up by 19 at the half. Celts will have to outscore them by 37 in the second half, otherwise a lot of these bettors will be very happy.
