A member of the Detroit Pistons will compete in the NBA All-Star 3-point shooting contest, but it’s not the one everyone was expecting. Cade Cunningham is one of eight players selected to compete in the annual event during NBA All-Star weekend.
Many Pistons fans were hoping that Malik Beasley, who is second in the NBA with 191 made 3-pointers this season, would be selected. Instead, it becomes yet another showcase for Cunningham, who was also named to his first All-Star team and will compete in the new All-Star format on Feb. 16.
Cunningham is hitting just 35.
