The Pistons selected Oklahoma State point guard Cade Cunningham with the No. 1 pick in the 2021 draft on Thursday night.
Cunningham is Detroit's first No. 1 pick since selecting Hall-of-Fame center Bob Lanier in 1970. The Pistons have drafted in the top 10 seven times since 2010, most recently selecting French point guard Killian Hayes with the No. 7 pick in the 2021 draft.
Cunningham, 19, was a consensus All-American as a freshman at Oklahoma State. He averaged 20.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, shooting 43.8 percent from the field and 40 percent from three.
