The Detroit Pistons secured two very different offensive contributors in the draft. They found some shooting in Marcus Sasser and a multidimensional, athletically gifted wing in Ausar Thompson.
Both guys have high defensive ceilings, but will also help the Pistons’ offense.

The Pistons traded the 31st pick for the 25th to select Sasser, a 6-foot-2 guard who shot .438 last year in college and .384 from three. A second unit of Killian Hayes, Sasser, Alec Burks, Beef Stew, and Wiseman could have some balance. Hayes and Wiseman on high pick and rolls could be effective with three players sliding on the perimeter to knock down shots.
