Good pickup for the Pistons! Love Ausar, as a prospect..💯
Good pick
Dammit, another project.

Pistons ejected KCP. KCP now has two rings for two different teams and he is one of the best 3 pt. shooters in the league. Athletic guys who come in with a defensive mind set and skill set most definitely have a place in the NBA despite what morons like SVG seem to think. Ausar also is a bit edgy, a bit fanatical in his approach to the game…definitely a Piston trait.

Good pick and perfect match with Pistons Cade , Ivey and duren. We have to wait see who would pick 31? Hope emoni bates, pistons needs to build score better than 111ppg and defense improved.
Best pick he brings great defense and lots of room to grow in 2 years you will be very proud of this kid.
Mikal Bridges 2.0
If I were drinking coffee, I would have spit it up when she said Saddiq Bey was a 3 and D guy. He couldn't shoot the 3 and was not good at D.
But he is a big guard…..we need a forward and he is in need of a weight gain to be a forward……I'm still confused with this pick…..they must have a trade for a forward …..
Asaur is not an NBA 3!!! This is a TERRIBLE pick!! The dude is a 2 who can't shoot and doesnt finish well. Oh my lord this is going to look BAD. Ivey cade and Ausar on the floor together?!?! Bahahahahah they're going to get COOKED and have zero driving lanes because no team is going to believe in ANYONES SHOT IN OUR STARTING LINEUP. DISGUSTING
I'm sad I wnated hendicks. Asar should be fun on fast break with Ivey
All you talking heads don't know Jack. #GoPistons
This year has been a total waste. I'm so disappointed. We'll be a lottery team again. This couldn't have turned out any worse in my mind.
Shoulda took Grady stanking azz
Lotta vocal novice basketball people in here. Free comedy
This is the worst era in Pistons history. We're in need of a 3/4 and we get a 6'5 forward who can't shoot if u think he's 6'7 check his combine measurements. Then to top it off we get a 6'2 guard to stop people? Weaver is the most unorganized out of touch GM we've ever had. Johnson said he's going back to Brooklyn a guy like Taurean Prince resigned Torey Craig signed a (2) yr deal in Indy Grant wants 30M+ Tobias Harris never could defend and now he's slower. This shyt show is looking worse every year.
I just want our guys to be healthy all next year. Didn't really care for the draft but happy we got a defensive minded player.
Another pick in the lines of Killian Hayes. He will frustrate for a few years, until it becomes too painfully obvious the guy can’t shoot and never will
Then after the Ausar failure, Weaver completely gives away a 2nd rounder (was there even a 1% chance Sasser would not have been there at 31?) Weaver picks a small PG that will probably be out of the NBA within 2 years over wing players that can shoot (Shepherd, Leonard Miller etc).
This team, led by Weaver and Gores is absolutely clueless
Not a good pick for Detroit. Maybe he was a good pick for an other team.
For Detroit, Hendricks was a great fit.
This kid can't shoot well for 3s. The way he plays is impressive, but he can't play like that in the modern NBA were defense does exist. He is a little better than Hamidou Diallo.
😩 he need wing shooters bad!
We have just drafted the backcourt of the future. Thompson will replace an injured Cade and Sasser will move in to take over for Ivey.
If this man is going to represent the Pistons on a podcast, can we not have the Jordan brand crap?
Love the pick! Looking forward to your take on Marcus Sasser
Yea bruh Detroit was doing good til they slept on Taylor Hendricks. Guess they value their 4s
