Detroit Pistons: Will Cade Cunningham Lead The NBA In Assists?

Standing at 6-6, Cunningham has the size and length to guard virtually any player one through three, which gives the Pistons an ample amount of flexibility given Ausar Thompson’s defensive versatility as well. With both Cunningham and Thompson available to apply pressure at the perimeter, the Pistons were one of the more disruptive defenses in the NBA last season at the point of attack. Over the years, Cunningham has become well-known for his chase-down blocks in transition, and the two-way floor general posted 2.2 stocks to his credit last season.
