Bethlehem product Darrun Hilliard had a productive NBA Summer League in Orlando over the first two weeks of July.

Hilliard averaged 14 points and 3.25 rebounds per game with the Detroit Pistons through four games of the summer league, where the Pistons finished 2-2 in games against Orlando, Miami, Indiana and the LA Clippers.

Hilliard shot 40-percent from three-point range (4-for-10) and 31.8-percent from the field (14-44), as he gradually warmed up in summer league action from his first start.

In his opening game against Orlando, he only scored five points on 3-of-13 shooting during an 87-76 defeat. He followed that up with an 11-point performance in a 77-69 defeat to the Clippers before breaking out in his final two games of action.

During a 78-73 loss to the Heat, Hilliard pocketed 16 points, including two 3-pointers, as he logged in nearly 23 minutes of action, which was the most he saw during the summer league up to that point. He then capped off the four-game stretch with an encouraging performance, logging 24 minutes, scoring 14 points and grabbing five rebounds, as well as two assists and two steals in a 90-65 win over the Pacers.

With summer league in the books, Hilliard had time to think about everything he went through during the small summer window.

"I thought I played pretty well," Hilliard said of his four-game stretch with the Pistons. "I had to make an adjustment because everybody on the floor is a great athlete. Everybody out there is a professional and it opens your eyes when you're playing against guys of this caliber."

Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy told Detroit media that he wants Hilliard to work on his shot fake to create more foul shooting opportunities.

"He [Van Gundy] knows that a lot of people respect my shot, so he just wants to see me use that more," he said. "It's something that I need to work on to add to my game."

Hilliard will now head to Detroit in the coming week to sign his rookie contract.

After that, he'll head out to Los Angeles for two weeks to work out before finally returning to Detroit to get ready for training camp, which begins in late September.
