Reasons Why Pistons SHOULDN'T draft Cade Cunningham?

[Adebisi_Said]

I can’t remember a draft pick ever being this convinced he’s the Number 1 draft pick immediately.

While I personally prefer Jalen Green (I just think he’s a better talent) this is about Cade. what are the criticisms of Cade Cunningham

what’s the reason YOU wouldn’t take him #1?

It’s not like he’s Kyrie or Zion level talent... or even Anthony Davis

Who says he can’t be a bust as well.

Pistons fans weigh in please with how you think he may not fit.

I'm surprised the young breh actually seems happy to be going to Detroit.

I mean we’ve seen for years now that the best player in a draft usually isn’t the #1 pick

no one goes “you know what im kind of happy i have the 2nd pick because the best player isnt always the 1st pick”

True, but only 1 team can get the #1 pick and you know that. It is what it is and how the game goes.

I don’t think if you put Jalen Green on Oklahoma St he puts up the stats Cade did and takes them to the tourney

That g league shyt just guys scrimmaging, sure their pros but they wasn’t out there competing hard or anything

Cade will flourish with more floor spacing

But I like green so I digress. Both will be good but in today’s nba a guy who can pretty much just score isn’t more valuable than a guy who can score, pass, play D

G league competition was terrible

Where’s Swag cade might have p*ssy eyes while green has the looks of a super star

 

[Phantum]

They shouldn't over think it and try to be cute. Get Cunningham.

Tune changed quickly once the Rockets didn’t get the top pick.

Rockets subreddit is literally saying "Detroit will fukk this up like they did Darko" and "let's trade 3 1st round picks to get Cade", they're pissed they didn't get #1

G league competition was terrible

Some of those terrible g league players he played against went and had big games in the nba… doubt any of the comp Cade played would put up numbers in NBA

Watching people convince themselves to be happy to have pick 2 or 3 is nuts

My mans does not like Cade at all

sorry breh he gonna be flying down exit 9 in some new buffs heading to Benihana’s listening to Veeze in a couple months

 

[Lakerman0834]

i am happy to have the 3rd pick would of preferred the first pick but definitely happy with 3rd. And I’m good with taking whomever is leftover between cade, green, Mobley

Ingram ended up better than Simmons, Tatum ended up better than fultz, trae and Luka are better than ayton bagley. Top pick doesn’t guarantee best player

G league competition was terrible

Rumor had it that Darius Bazley was getting washed by them G-League nikkas and that's why Rich Paul pulled the "internship" stunt that he did to save face.

The coli is obsessed with explosiveness. That shyt ain’t everything. Most of these posts are like “he’s solid at everything offensively but the that lack of explosiveness

But Jalen green and his explosiveness “

The pistons just need talent at this point. Cade is a great building block for the future. Cade running the offense, Bey at the wing. Put some more shooting around them and maybe they can finally be something

Skill>> explosiveness but if you mix explosiveness +skill, it’s over. Cade is skilled. Jalen is skilled and explosive. He’s like brad Beal with a jet pack.

They’re pros at the end of the day. If that’s terrible then how would you describe the college competition?

 

[Hollywood Co]

Really liked Cade’s game in college but drafting tweeners in the top 5 is scary to me.

I wish there was something he did at an elite level that could give more confidence that he’ll be something more than a borderline all star.
