Ausar showed better improvement as a perimeter shooter than brother Amen and can slide in alongside the wing next to Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ively. Ausar is one of the most athletic guards in this draft class, a tenacious defender and has a high IQ. He can switch out playing the 1, 2 or 3 and plays an up-tempo game.

Yahoo Sports Commentary
What Sasser lacks in size as an NBA guard, he makes up for in power and how strong he is with the ball. Sasser is a true floor general who is entering the league with experience playing under a Hall of Fame coach in Kelvin Sampson. Sasser averaged 16.8 points and 3.1 assists per game during his senior season at Houston. But this does feel like a major reach.
