## Resource

Should the Detroit Pistons pay Ausar Thompson now before his price rises? In this episode of Pistons Talk, we break down the potential cost of Ausar Thompson’s next contract and compares him to two different tiers of NBA wings. Tier 1 examines defensive specialists and impactful two-way players whose contracts could establish the realistic price range Detroit may face during extension negotiations. Comparisons include Jaden McDaniels, Devin Vassell and Luguentz Dort. Tier 2 explores the ceiling scenario: what Ausar’s value could become if his offensive production and shooting improve, or if the Pistons cannot reach an extension agreement and allow him to get closer to restricted free agency.
