The Detroit Pistons have their franchise star in Cade Cunningham, but where he ranks among franchise players in the NBA is a matter of opinion.
Bleacher Report recently put together their tiers of franchise guys, and the list wasn’t surprising. It was headlined by the foursome of Victor Wembanyama, Giannis, SGA and Nikola Jokic, three MVPs and a guy who has a chance to win one in the near future.
Below them are Luka Doncic, Anthony Edwards and Jayson Tatum, three perennial All-Stars who have won titles or at least made deep runs in the playoffs.
