Daniss Jenkins’ recent breakout has shifted the whole dynamic of the Pistons, and it’s easing Cade Cunningham’s workload as the offensive centerpiece.

This subtle shift in the Pistons’ offense can go a long way in conserving Cade’s energy through the regular season and playoffs.

In his last 5 games, all starts, Jenkins has found success with and without Cade. He’s playing the perfect hybrid role that was originally meant for Jaden Ivey.
