Considering Sasser was originally a first round selection for the Pistons at No. 25 overall, the 6-1, 195-pounder never made the impact in Motown that was expected of him. Once Daniss Jenkins ascended from the G-League to become a regular, contributing member of the Pistons’ rotation, it seemed as if the writing was already on the wall for Sasser’s time in Detroit, and this deal with the Mavs would close the book on a chapter of Sasser’s career that may be remembered as an unfinished draft.Â
