It's obvious that Ausar Thompson remains one of the most important pieces to the Detroit Pistons' current vision as a team. Now, in order to make the leap from an intriguing young role player into a legitimate star, the Pistons should hope to see Thompson take the Scottie Barnes blueprint and use it as a guide in sharpening his offensive game.
Ausar has already shown flashes of what he can become. His defensive metrics through his first two seasons have placed him among the league’s best young wings. His ability to guard multiple positions, rebound, and create chaos off the ball has been elite thus far.
