Detroit — The Pistons desired to add another shooter to their roster, so they traded their only second-round pick to acquire one.

As the first round of Thursday's NBA Draft neared its end, the Pistons executed a trade with the Boston Celtics to acquire the 25th overall pick, who turned out to become Houston guard Marcus Sasser in exchange for the 31st pick in the second round, a league source confirmed to The Detroit News.
