The Cade Cunningham you might have heard about this summer, the one who, from all accounts, shined through the NBA’s rising stars as part of the U.S. Before there was “Flimsy for Wemby”, there was “Fade for Cade.” Teams were racing toward the bottom of the NBA standings to try and land Cunningham’s services in 2021. “He’s just been getting to his spots and making it look so easy,” teammate Isaiah Stewart said of Cunningham’s summer. “He’s great at slowing the game down and getting the shot he wants.” Detroit is going to need Cunningham to flirt with stardom this season if it has any hopes of playing postseason basketball.
