Taking turnovers and turning those opportunities into easy buckets on the other end is the name of the game in Detroit, and Pistons forward Ausar Thompson is as adept at following that script as any player in the league. 

Take a look at this beautiful transition assist from AT in the Pistons' 126-110 win over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night. 

This season, Thompson has really come into his own as a dynamic two-way player who offers a rare blend of speed, high-level instincts and the coordination to pull off moves that would normally leave the most agile of players in awe. If Thompson can add an outside shot to his arsenal, the Pistons are going to have one of the most dynamic players in the association on their roster, which is a title that Cade Cunningham already holds. However, Cunningham would surely welcome the company as Ausar continues to round out his skills on the offensive end of the floor.
