You can’t accuse Cade Cunningham of being afraid of the moment, the comparisons or the responsibility. He’s embraced it all, and when facing gargantuan expectations along the way, whether at Montverde Academy, Oklahoma State or with the Detroit Pistons, he has only asked why people are thinking so small. No matter how great you say he could be, he asks why you don’t think he can be even better. He certainly thinks he can.
As long as he puts in the work.
