3 years agoThe Detroit Pistons have done what's been expected for weeks: drafted Oklahoma State guard Cade Cunningham with the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. A potential generational player, Cunningham is able to do essentially everything on the basketball court. Last season for the Cowboys, Cunningham averaged 20.1 points per game on 43.8 percent shooting while making 40.0 percent of his threes. He also added 6.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. At 6-foot-8, Cunningham is a huge mismatch when serving as the primary ball-handler and can create shots for himself and others. The Pistons drafted point guard Killian Hayes last season, but other than that have a lot of openings in the backcourt, which should allow Cunningham to see the floor early on. Turnovers could be a concern, but Cunningham should be a strong fantasy contributor right out of the gate, with the potential to be a perennial first-round fantasy pick within the next couple of years.--Justin Carter - RotoBaller
