There was no player I was more disappointed by through the first four games of the series between the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks than Detroit’s second-year forward Ausar Thompson. We knew things would be tougher in the playoffs for a non-shooting player like Thompson with so much time for the opponent to build a game plan. True to form, offense is difficult, but the biggest issue was Thompson couldn’t seem to get out of his own way. He made a number of unforced errors trying to figure out where he fit into this series.
Ausar’s Game 5 was a glimpse at what a championship future looks like
