EDGE Analysis

The 25th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft had his best game yet as a pro, setting career highs in scoring and three-pointers. Sasser's role has grown quickly, largely due to Monte Morris (quad) being sidelined, and the rookie is responding with some intriguing per-minute production. However, his court time, even on the second unit, has a pretty firm cap in a backcourt dominated by Cade Cunningham, Killian Hayes and Jaden Ivey.
