There were plenty of reasons for the Detroit Pistons’ renaissance last season, but none bigger than Cade Cunningham’s ascent to an All-NBA level.
Pistons fans already knew they had something special in Cade, but last season quieted even his biggest doubters as he led Detroit to the playoffs on his way to an All-NBA selection.
He also stepped into a more vocal and visible leadership role, which JB Bickerstaff spoke about on a recent episode of the Chris Vernon Show. Coach Bickerstaff spoke about Cunningham’s special leadership qualities, how he holds teammates accountable, and how he can be great without taking anything away from them.
