Detroit Pistons: Marcus Sasser is “Dallas Royalty” on both ends

Many fans didn’t know much about Marcus Sasser before being drafted by the Detroit Pistons with the 25th pick. His journey on the hardwood started as a toddler when he would go to the gym on Saturdays to watch his father and uncles play. His grandfather would occasionally make an appearance, showcasing his long range marksmanship, leaving everyone in awe with his ability to shoot deep, well beyond the long line.

His upbringing and family structure molded him into the player he is today, and a likely candidate for playing time as a rookie. He’s the perfect complementary guard you would want long term next to Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey.
