The former #1 overall pick has shown why he was the right selection all along.
As the consensus #1 overall pick in the 2021 draft, Cade Cunningham was always expected to be the best player in his draft class. Earlier in his career, Cade was doubted and even labeled a bust by some. But he has finally reached the point where he is universally seen as the best from his draft class.
As it stands, the starting five of stars from the 2021 draft would probably be Cade, Evan Mobley, Scottie Barnes, Franz Wagner and Alperen Sengun.
