Could the Pistons Be the East’s Dark Horse? Cade Cunningham’s Rise Sparks New Hope
The All-Star guard is currently third in the NBA in drives per game (18.7), and it rarely feels like there is a spot on the floor that he cannot get to. In a league full of athleticism, Cunningham uses his size, poise and shiftiness to consistently keep pressure on defenses.
Whether his defender is guarding 1v1, working to recover in pick-and-roll or closing out, they are greeted with a similar fate. Head down, shoulder in chest, a straight line drive and wondering why they can’t recover back in front. His footwork also allows him to get to his spot and mix in pull-ups and stepbacks.
