"Pistons select Houston guard Marcus Sasser in NBA draft trade-up"
The Detroit Pistons traded up to select Marcus Sasser, a scoring guard from Houston, with the No. 25 pick in the 2023 NBA draft. Sasser, a first-team All-American, is known for his outside shooting, which was particularly appealing to the Pistons. He joins a backcourt that already includes recent top draft picks Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, and Killian Hayes. The Pistons also drafted wing Ausar Thompson with their first pick at No. 5 overall.
