Bobi Klintman has made a significant impact during the Detroit Pistons' Summer League opener, showcasing his potential as a playmaker with a team-high five assists in a decisive 104-86 victory over the New York Knicks. The forward, selected in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, demonstrated impressive passing skills, including a highlight behind-the-back assist during a pick-and-roll play with Tolu Smith. Klintman's performance raises expectations for his role in the upcoming season.

Having previously played with the Motor City Cruise, Klintman is no stranger to the competition. His court vision and ability to facilitate scoring opportunities for teammates, including former Duke star Trevor Keels, were on full display. With a gap in the Pistons' power forward position following Simone Fontecchio's trade, Klintman's shooting and passing abilities could earn him increased minutes next season, especially if he continues to excel in Summer League play.
