The Detroit Pistons took Ausar Thompson and Marcus Sasser with their two picks in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Both guys could be thrust into the rotation (or even starting lineup in Thompson’s case) right away, as Ausar might already be the Pistons’ best defender and Sasser is a 22-year-old with the experience to be part of the second unit.
Getting a true wing player in Ausar Thompson lessens the need for the Pistons to land one in free agency, and the addition of Sasser may make it unnecessary for Detroit to seek out a third point guard.
