Orlando Summer League 2016: Championship Game TV Schedule and Live Stream

It's an exhibition meant to get some younger players running, but there's still a championship on the line Friday when the 2016 Orlando Summer League features a showdown between the Orlando Magic White and Detroit Pistons.

This being the Orlando league, the Magic fielded two teams out of the 10 participants, but it was the White squad that ran the table, besting all four opponents. Boasting developmental talent such as Treveon Graham, the Magic haven't had many issues.

Ditto for the Pistons, who boast more recognizable names such as Stanley Johnson and Henry Ellenson. Also 4-0, the Pistons have enough firepower to make a game of it Friday, even if it is something of a road contest.

Here's a look at the information for the championship bout.

Graham has been an absolute stud for the Magic, leading the team with an average of 17.3 points per game. Center Arinze Onuaku hasn't been far off with his average of 10 points per game, forming a small-ball lineup no opponent has been able to contain thus far.

In a 79-74 victory Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets to start the journey, Onuaku led the way with 16 points. A 92-85 victory against the Dallas Mavericks saw six Magic players breach the double-digit mark. The third game, a 95-90 escape of the New York Knicks, had Graham at 19 and guard Justin Dentmon post 18.

The last game was the most impressive, though. In a 79-69 dismissal of the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday, Graham exploded for 24 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the floor and grabbed six rebounds. Onuaku and Dentmon both added 15 points, emphasizing the triple-headed-monster status of the squad.

But that's all offense. The White team, what some would call the "B" squad, has plenty of defensive talent, too. Check out a block by Michael Frazier II:

By comparison, Detroit is more of a star-studded affair. Johnson keeps gunning away at 14.8 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, while Ellenson has looked solid, sitting on a strong 10.0 points and 6.5 boards. Guard Lorenzo Brown has been a pleasant surprise at 13.8 points per game.

The Pistons downright marched through half the team's games. The first was an encounter with the Knicks, which turned into an 81-49 rout. Wildly athletic already, the Pistons exploded on the offensive end of the court thanks to 15 points from Johnson and 12 apiece from Ellenson and Brown.

The fourth game is the other notable one. In it, Detroit stomped the Miami Heat in 71-58 fashion, getting 20 points and nine rebounds from Johnson.

Johnson, the No. 8 pick in the 2015 draft, hasn't had any problems with this level of competition. This highlight says it well enough:

Johnson has brought a fire to the Pistons during the bracket, responding to perceived trash talk during a win against the Indiana Pacers so much that the media asked him about the on-court banter after the game.

“That's just me being competitive. I'm going to play like that regardless whether we're playing at the Boys & Girls Club or in Game 4 or Game 7 of the NBA Finals,” Johnson said, according to Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press.

Call it a great example for Ellenson, who looks like one of the steals of this year's draft after falling to No. 18. If he can remain consistent Friday and carry that over to next season, earning some playing time at a spot clogged by Tobias Harris and Jon Leuer isn't so ridiculous.

When looking at the teams in Friday's affair, it seems like a bit of a David vs. Goliath scenario. Orlando's second team—the Blue squad is the one featuring household names such as Devyn Marble, Alex Poythress and Stephen Zimmerman—doesn't appear to have what it takes to hang with the Pistons.

But this Magic squad has the athleticism and shares something with most every Pistons player—the desire to put on a show and win a title, securing the individual and the team goals at the same time.

Friday isn't the NBA Finals or anything close, but it's important nonetheless for all involved. It sure doesn't hurt to get a look at the future of the league, either.
