New York — Waiting is almost always hard to do.
It’s especially hard for the Pistons and their fan base, who have struggled through more than a decade without a win in the playoffs.
Times are changing.
General manager Troy Weaver kick-started his roster restoration with the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft, selecting Oklahoma State freshman Cade Cunningham on Thursday night.
The crowd at Barclays Center cheered as Cunningham, donning an all-black suit, black shirt and black tie, strode to the stage to shake hands with NBA commissioner Adam Silver.
The Pistons were focused on Cunningham, an uber-talented 6-foot-8 wing, since they won the draft lottery last month.
