Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey are foundational pieces of the Detroit Pistons, who just hired coach Monty Williams to guide them to the next level.
Monty Williams spent most of his career playing small forward, as one would guess provided he was a 6-foot-8 wing with a knack for getting buckets who was drafted in 1994. He earned Honorable Mention All-American status while playing his college ball at Notre Dame, where he averaged 22.4 points and 8.4 rebounds during his senior season. When New York selected him with the 24th pick in the draft, they hoped they had acquired a building block for the future during what was actually a solid period of Knicks basketball.
