Cade Cunningham finished a surprising 7th in the MVP voting last season, and many think he’ll climb even higher this year, including 3-time NBA champion Danny Green.
Speaking on his Inside the Green Room podcast, the former sharpshooter called Cade “The SGA of the East” and picked him as his choice for Clutch Player of the Year. He cited how Cade plays at his own pace and is actually more athletic than SGA, which is bold praise considering the latter is fresh off an MVP season.
Green also predicted that Cade would learn from some of his shortcomings and make it deeper in the playoffs this season, which is the hope of every Pistons fan.
