The Detroit Pistons began the NBA Draft with a bang, or maybe that was just a collective sigh of relief from every Pistons fan exhaling at once as the pick of Cade Cunningham was announced by Adam Silver.
Cunningham walked to the podium in a sharp black suit and then did and said all the right things in his interviews afterward. He’s a guy who wants to be great, believes he will be great if he puts the work in, and is eager to hold the mantle of leadership and put the fortunes of an entire franchise and city on his shoulders.
