Despite being the #1 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, it seems as though the NBA is slowly forgetting about Cade Cunningham.

Cade Cunningham wasn’t a Zion-level prospect in terms of hype, but it’s nothing short of revisionist history to act like he wasn’t generating a monumental amount of buzz as a prospect. But now that we’re heading into his fourth season in the NBA, big questions remain about whether or not the Detroit Pistons have a franchise caliber player on their hands, or something more akin to a supporting piece.

    Hope things turn around for the better for Cade. Watching him in those post-game press conferences while they were on their losing streak made me feel really bad for him

    Not buying into this "Cade getting forgot" narrative after a season where Cade generated quite a buzz for making All Stars game.

    There’s weaknesses in every young players game ant , Luka , Tatum , wemby , paolo etc Cade will be an all star this year and in strong consideration for all nba

    Can they not play Stew at the 4? Please? Also really not sure how they’re going to develop Holland while they have Ausar/Ivey/Duren as well. Gonna really need Ivey to become a floor spacer on C&S’s, and hopefully Stew can play like 15-18M at C and also space. That’d help a lot. Fred Vinson is gonna have his hands full for sure. If he can turn Ivey in to a decent 3P shooter, and somehow turn Ausar in to someone who can hit open C&S corner 3s in the next cpl years that’d be incredibly impressive.

    I don’t know if Cade is a #1. I tend to think he’s more of a #2 or 1B at best, at least on a really good team. I definitely don’t think he should be a 30%+ USG guy. Someone else who is a decent defender, can hit 3s, and be at least a secondary ball handler would be huge. Like a Jalen Suggs or someone (shot 40% 3P on good volume this season) like that. We’ll see though. I have no doubt he’s very talented though and as long as he stays healthy will at least be a really good 2nd option.

    They improved the spacing a decent bit, but they’re still missing pieces. Fontecchio is hopefully a legit solid volume shooter. Tobias can hopefully at least be a decent floor spacer. He’s overpaid for sure, and I heard they did try to get Buddy Hield which would’ve been nice but didn’t happen. Simply going to need some of the young guys to shoot it, run better lineups with more spacing, and like I said hope that investment in Fred Vinson pays off.

    The pistons have had bad 3 point shooters which means teams pack the paint against them so cades numbers in the mid range and paint are really good for being double or triple teamed every time he goes there. I imagine with better spacing teams will have to respect the perimeter more and it will open up the floor for him.

    Hall of Fame walking. Not worrying about Cade and Detroit Pistons. Cade Cunningham stats show he better than Anthony Edwards. NBA refuses to show Detroit Pistons games on regular channels. That why there is no hype
