Sasser shot 37.5% from 3 on terrible defense. Alec Burks was a much better defender than Sasser FWIW and he is not labeled as a good defender. Hell, Fontecchio was a much better defender than Sasser and the Lakers game plan was to explore Fontecchio's poor defense. Sasser was solid at one point of the season (in a limited role), he fell of a cliff during the 2nd half, when given the opportunity to show what he can do, and he failed.
Stewart shot 38% from 3 and he shot less than 4 3's per game, which isn't enough to make defenders defend him. He was one of the worst offensive players in the league, and his defense has been regressing, he is still solid on defense, but unimpressive. He also got suspended by an unnacceptable behavior (imo) and and he was one of the locker room leaders of a team who quit on his coach and had the worst record in our franchise story. He's bad. I wish he wasn't but he is.
Sasser…. Probably worth another year, see if he improves this summer. On a cheap rookie deal.
Stewart…. If anyone offers an asset for him, trade him. This board is almost in total agreement that Stewart should be a backup center. How many backup centers in the league have $56 million extensions? He’s usually overmatched starting at power forward. And the leadership nonsense? Spare me. Pistons won 13 games.
Stewart’s extension was Troy Weaver putting lipstick on the pig known as the 2020 draft. Hayes was a bust, Bey got us Wiseman, another bust, and we still have another first rounder to cough up because of Stewart.
