Cade Cunningham didn’t play very well in the preseason and this has left some Detroit Pistons fans worried about just how big of a jump their franchise player is in store for this upcoming season. Should Cunningham’s play in the preseason be enough for Pistons fans to be hovering over the panic button?

I think there are more glaring things to be worried about that were revealed in pre-season
Yes, fans should be worried about Cade until he proves, he can give us a full season.
Hell no!
Cades ball handling scares me sometimes, not his strong suit at all… Not cringe worthy like CoJo but worrysome… Js
Yes
He may have been taking it lightly to not chance an injury. I believe he's gonna be kinda timid for a while…
I think Cade needs 2 primary defenders (Not including Duren) and another primary scorer to see his full potential. His focus should be on doing whatever the team needs him to do whether it's defending the 3rd best player on the opposing team or just being a secondary scoring option, but he shouldn't be the main scorer. I don't think he's the type of player to average 25 shots per game unless the team needs him to be. Khris Middleton will forever be my comp because I just can't not see the similarities from their playstyles.
Sometime Cade floats a pass out there which the defenders easily breaks on.
he can be slow and lazy sometimes on the court. Looking casual as hell. I need to see him take over a game. And do it consistently at times. He needs moments where he on fire. He not he is just a good player.
Cade will be a top 20 player this year y’all Tripping nothing to worry about it’s his style of play, he plays slow which is good he can control the game my only concern is his dribbling capabilities he need to really work on it. Trade Bojan and get a first round draft pick or a shooting PF Monte is a okay player I truly believe Killian will blossom this year both of them could split time or maybe run together but nothing is giving he has to earn it
Man he played like this last preseason too he gone ball when the season start trust me
Hell NO!!!!!!
Shai didn’t even play that game and Williams was taking Cade and Killian’s cookies so how was that the best starting lineup 🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽
I like Ku's warning at the end 😅 its gonna be a long, LONG season (again)
I don’t expect him to make a crazy leap this year.. he was just out a whole season, next year will be the real breakout year if he can stay healthy
Cade don't look happy
We should be worried until there's nothing to worry about
I don’t care about wins, I wanna see him ball out. Until then, Mobley looks like the best from that class.
Who u think should start, Ivey or Hayes?
30-52 season coming, that’s what I’m worried about
There's nothing to worry about yet. He looks healthy first.
It’s preseason my nigga
I agree with Mr city cade ball handling needs work n it could b he wasn't giving 100% may 70% but yes I would say not to worry but also have a backup plan like duren or ausar
Why exactly is Cade not giving it 100%, even in preseason?? He hasn’t proved anything in the NBA yet. Kyrie was playing hard in that game, and he’s an actual established star.
The only guy I saw give 100% the entire time he was out there was Ausar.
Love the show, it's going to be a fun season I think. People forgot about Cade and I think he comes through and turns some heads. Stanley Umude (uh-moo-day) Monte (mon-tay) Morris. Cheers
Not worried, but I don't think he will be a superstar caliber player. He will be a very good player for a long time…hopefully with the Pistons. Cade will be successful due to his skill, intelligence, and leadership.
Lot of haters below. Its practice man we talkin bout practice, i mean Cade our franchise player and yall talking bout practice.-AI or something like that
No worries at all….Cade might start slow but he will be a beast.
Now rest of the team…idk
I've watched Umude in the G-League for a while and he is one of those players who will shoot light out one night and then be invisible for a few games. I think they could do better for their 2-ways as I don't thing Rhoden is worth the spot either. I'm slightly optimistic about Cazalon. I hoped they would find a young stretch PF with some potential for growth. They seem to have a surfeit of guards.
How many years of sucking are you ok with? I'm an old guy so I don't know how many years I have left. I want them to return to the greatness I grew up with…soon.
No I'm not worried
