You heard it even when Cade Cunningham was a fresh-faced high schooler at Mountverde Academy. He has the size, the poise, the strength. He never gets sped up. He dictates the pace. Cool in big moments. Wants to be great. When evaluating him against other great prospects in the 2021 NBA Draft, a big differentiator in Cunningham’s favor was that he seemed built to lead a team to playoff success.
Well, the Detroit Pistons are in the playoffs. They need Cade Cunningham to lead them to victory. Today. The Pistons will be hosting the New York Knicks in Game 4 of a first-round series.
