The Pistons played their fifth and final game of the Las Vegas Summer League on Sunday evening without rookie forward Ausar Thompson, who watched from the sidelines after promising performances in his last two outings.
Without Thompson, all eyes were on Marcus Sasser, the 25th overall pick whose play has been overshadowed to some degree. With an increased opportunity to lead the offense, Sasser stepped up to the plate and propelled the Pistons to a 100-85 win over the Indiana Pacers.
Sasser scored 40 in his most impressive showing to date, to go with five assists.
