The Detroit Pistons have made some nice offseason additions including coach Monty Williams, draft picks Ausar Thompson and Marcus Sasser and veterans Joe Harris and Monte Morris. But none of them will be bigger then getting Cade Cunningham back from injury.
Losing Cunningham after only 12 games put a huge cloud over this past season and was the primary reason the team only won 17 games.
His return should help everyone, especially Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren, who will benefit from Cunningham’s playmaking and gravity.

The Detroit Pistons are counting on big leaps from these players, who are the foundation of their rebuild, but let’s be serious, this team is going to go as Cade goes, and there is every reason to expect him to have a monster season, especially after the opportunities he is getting this summer.
