We Need to Talk About Cade Cunningham.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Despite being the #1 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, it seems as though the NBA is slowly forgetting about Cade Cunningham.
Cade Cunningham wasn’t a Zion-level prospect in terms of hype, but it’s nothing short of revisionist history to act like he wasn’t generating a monumental amount of buzz as a prospect. But now that we're heading into his fourth season in the NBA, big questions remain about whether or not the Detroit Pistons have a franchise caliber player on their hands, or something more akin to a supporting piece.

Nothing happened. Hes like grant hill on the 90s pistons. Great young talent on a terrible team with a horrible front office. Doing what he can with truly awful spacing 🤷
Don’t see anything different from this comment. But you can be sure that many teams are more interested in him than in a player like Trae Young. His style don’t get many highlights clicks despite being quite solid
Because Cade is t that good
There have been other guys going to bad teams that showed star power or flash. He just hasn’t shown it all the way for me
@emsj86 he's shown flashes but he is dealing with historically bad spacing to be fair. His game is built around the pick and roll and the midrange. But the floor is so compressed and jammed because of bad spacing that it makes his life so much harder.

“Something clicked” was killian hayes getting booted back to France
😂😂😂
That whole losing streak could've and should've been avoided by starting Ivey. Dude was scoring like 50/40/80 before the bs started to weigh on the players.
@@J-Hue yea Monty had something against him it was sad to see
I might be slightly biased because we went to the same highschool for a couple years but I think he has the clear tools to really be something special in the league, and more people would probably see that if he was in just even a slightly better situation
U from North Texas or what u talking Florida..
how special? top 10, top 20, top 30 player?
@@Shortballa11Top 20 at worst and top 15 at best.
@@nicholasrose4448 i hope so i like Cade a lot. Bt the youth movement is stacked with some locks. Wemby, Luka, Tatum, Ja, Ant, Shai, Zion. Top 15 means you rlly have to put up MVP numbers type seasons now
Ehh he's seemingly a worse luka at best
He's on the pistons
I pray that man finds a way out lol
Say it to a Detroiter in real life. 🐟
I love cade, but god, my pistons suck at rebuilding
It’s all about the front office and being smart
@@Now_To_Infinity Yes, they are the stupidest team out of 30 by a very wide margin, that's why they remain hopelessly fucked. I hate it here.
@@Now_To_Infinity
They've drafted quality talent over the years, but have still been trash organizationally, so guys tend to not develop until they land elsewhere.
@@J-Hue Who, recently, other than Cade? What are you TALKING about?
Yeah I keep seeing people saying that Paolo is the least talked about first overall pick ever when they are literally completely forgetting about cade
Paolo not even the best on his own team. Paolo very overrated
@@4ktkaram395Paulo isn’t overrated at all lol
@@marcusbrown4933 his team is better with him off the floor.
I can't even remember Cade being a number overall pick 🫢
He’s a great player I just think the pistons front office fumbled the bag after they drafted him
Miami would make him an all nba player
No
@@SuperTDSmithyes
@@davyunwashington3613 Yes seconded!
Is anyone questioning the Pistons decision of drafting Ivey? At the time people were shocked the Kings passed on him.
definitely questioning it. But holding on to Killian so long made that look not so bad
@@Shortballa11 Ivey will have a better career than Murray, he’s on the verge of a major breakout season
keegan a dog tho @@IAmAbundunt
dude cade is doing Gods work out on that court and I pray that he either leaves or the pistons management stop snorting
him and paolo banchero are genuinely nice
Should of been teammates
As a Magic fan I know how bad it hurts to have amazing talent and have it wasted by the FO, hopefully they get as lucky as we did with Weltman.
Hope things turn around for the better for Cade. Watching him in those post-game press conferences while they were on their losing streak made me feel really bad for him
ya cade definitely has a very methodical playstyle, he looks like hes always controlling the pace and not allowing himself to be sped up keeps the guy on his hip and changes speeds when he needs to especially when he gets into the paint area, hes also a big guard so he can jus kinda body up on smaller guards, detroit just needs more spacing around him, ive seen so many times where he drives to the paint and not a single opposing player are looking at anyone else on the 3pt line, he applies pressure but they dont have the spacing to really take advantage of that also im rly unsure about the ron holland pick, seems super similar to ausar thompson, high level defender wing but also not a good shooter at all tho hes at least hes a bit ahead of ausar in that aspect, just seems like another player that is probably gonna get ignored on the outside but i think cade is a franchise guy they just have to help him out more, i think they'll definitely better than last season, not the highest bar lol but i think JB will be good for them and have them playing the right way and instill a culture they've been missing the entire time they have been rebuilding
Cade got to work on handling be more willing passer conditioning finishing at the rim pushing the pace
Cade Cunningham plays Basketball professionally, isn't that cool?
Free my boy man he's so talented :(
Good vid! Now do Anfernee Simons. I was just debating who was the better player, he or Cunningham
glad to see cade get his respect
4:55 - EPM also says DSJ is a more impactful defender than Bam
That thumbnail is fire btw
Underrated 2-way player imo
The pistons have had bad 3 point shooters which means teams pack the paint against them so cades numbers in the mid range and paint are really good for being double or triple teamed every time he goes there. I imagine with better spacing teams will have to respect the perimeter more and it will open up the floor for him.
I'm reallly high on cade still. He's just in a piss poor situation, hell if we even saw him on teams like utah or the '23 nets, his situation would be much better. Additions like tobias harris and beasely would be insane. He's got the potential to be all league defense, and MVP fs.
Lolllll that's incredible cope. Dude was compared to Luka coming out of college and hasn't made a dent on his team's success
@@duhduhduhdiesel1436true
@@Antonio-h7c The team is incompetent and has fucked him over like nothing we have ever seen before, that's the whole story here.
His like Tim Duncan if he was a guard
oh man I am not a SA fan but him with Wemby would be amazing
You are REALLY breaking down the player well unlike some other channels which only talks about something meaningless
Cade been injured and on what was a bad franchise under troy all which slowed down his development still got all star potential just need to tighten up handles get better at attacking the rim and finishing at rim better conditioning and defense too
There’s weaknesses in every young players game ant , Luka , Tatum , wemby , paolo etc Cade will be an all star this year and in strong consideration for all nba
No he won't
Not at all
great video! first time watching your content
i felt so bad for bro when i saw that clip of him crying during the losing streak he doesnt deserve this
None of the young guys did. Their team had too much talent. But their supposed #2 guy got benched for arguably the worst of in the league, despite scoring on 50/40/80 splits. Front office set the team back mismanaging the coaching situation.
Some team for sure looking to pick him up. Bro is being forge in fire rn and still making a name for himself.
I see a video about Cade and I click LoL
Cade has been the victim of an organization that has operated criminally with building rosters and scouting talent. If he ever gets the right pieces around him, he will easily be all star worthy.
There’s not a better channel out there that breaks down players like this one. All with footage rolling the whole time.
Their talent drafting had been great. The team owner screwed the rebuild up, likely forcing out their coach Dwayne Casey, and overriding the GM to sign a coach who's now having locker room trouble at multiple stops and teams that underperform consistently due to personnel mismanagement.
The team owner set the team back a ways.
Nah I’m a Celtics fan and I know cade is on the up and up
You know ball.
Where’d you get that hoodie you were wearing during the square space ad read? Looks dope
It’s the Jordan Essential Holiday Hoodie, think I found it on the Nike App a couple years ago!
Cade The next Jordan
Cade Cunningham is a number two on a winning team until I see him at least lead the pistons to a play in appearance
Hoodie goes hard
He's on a dumpster fire of a team.
All Cade needs to do on fast breaks is stop at the free throw lil pump fake and take the same shot you always take instead of going all the way to the basket. Luka 2.0
Devin Booker’s story was untold until the Suns started winning… Detroit just sucks
good comparison
Cade needs to be moved to point forward (small forward). He would be move effective.
that might be true cuz I think it takes a lot out of him guarding these small guards. They need a legit pass first point guard tho, which they dont have
I wish OKC woulda drafted him he n Shai would been unstoppable
what happend nothing really just stuck in detriot
Can’t wait for Detroit to show they spark this year
Cade
Tim
Ausar
Tobias
And Duren
Solid 5
That five (meaning the center!) is shitty.
@@scottwickett1273
The center who averaged almost 14 and 12 in only his 2nd season in the league is sh*tty? That's a bold take.
Im buying stocks
If the Pistons get a 30-win season... He might get some MVP 5th place votes lol
And he would deserve it! His supporting cast is still hot garbage.
22 was top 3 not top 2. Many thought smith would go 1.
He's not even better than the inconsistent Jalen Green. Jalen Green had worst players around him than Cade from 2021 to 2023 under Silas and he didnt let the Rockets lose 28 consecutive games as a first option.
At least Cade can enjoy the free wings whenever they win 😂
I was hoping the spurs would trade for him
I mean put Zion or any number one shy of wemby and I think they don’t do that much better if any bit better than Cade
Of course this is true: Cade has gotten less help than any deserving #1 pick in the history of this sport.
Geez just get some vets that can lead and get some floor spacing
Lamelo or Cade ?
When you have fournier and joe harris ..me and you will lose at the local ymca..
Cade got paid so dont feel too bad for him 😅
Hall of Fame walking. Not worrying about Cade and Detroit Pistons. Cade Cunningham stats show he better than Anthony Edwards. NBA refuses to show Detroit Pistons games on regular channels. That why there is no hype
What about him being a point forward. I dont think he has the passing ability of a Doncic which hardly anyone does. But he wouldnt need the ball all the time. He also gets a lot taken out of him going against smaller faster PG.
He's a point guard.
He got caught up in an injury unfortunately but he’s still good and I can see Luka in him but the problem is that he’s playing for Detroit that team is a wasteland I mean shoot they signed Montey to a head coach max in a way and they let him go the next season this team is in shambles
what did you expect?
it does not matter how many 1st pick, lottery/top level prospects you can get.. if you keep giving them to the most incompetent organization(s) in Basketball.. they'll find a way to turn all that talent into the worst team in the history of Basketball..
and there's no more forgettable a carreer than as the best player on the worst team in Basketball..
but ey.. at least they pay you $250 million to waste away your talents.. being cannonfodder to teams competent enough to draft the best player in the world and 3xMVP in the 2nd Round..
Is it just me or does he look like another #2 i know over in the west
I'll take "what is a 28-game losing streak for $500, Alex."
Cade Cunningham's in the same point guard tier as Josh Giddey and a poor man's Lonzo Ball. Cade's not a number one option.
Lol 😂
@@IAmAbundunt What's funny?
You’re out of line. He’s a much better scorer than both of them
He’s awesome lol and it’s so clear. His team is just ass
Exactly, he should demand a trade now that he got the bag.
7:22 how was that not a carry? lol
I just don’t see him being great at anything. Not shot creation. Not shooting. Not passing. Not athleticism. Not defence. Just decent at everything
If he had better team mates he would be great.
@@Therealjimcramerno if they had me ill be great while Caden is ass
@@Therealjimcramer people need to stop saying that. It’s easy to separate the player from the team. He just isn’t that talented
@@MO-rl9gl You clearly haven't watched him then.
A 22 year old averaging nearly 23 and 8 is not talented? That's laughable.
@@Therealjimcramer padding stats on a trash team isn't impressive. If he had better teammates, then he wouldn't be the best player on his own team
He doing fine signed extension keep working on his game in get out of Detroit!! Teaxs Made!! 🚬👀
He's been solid, but he plays in Detroit..its that simple 🤷♂️
He needs to play in china
I know it can be a bit weird and maybe feel uncomfortable, but maybe you should tell people to like the video earlier as well as in the end, since a good portion probably won't watch that bit, even if they enjoyed the video
Who?
He’s on a historically bad team that was sabotaging his talent. He needs time to come back from a season ending surgery but has all the potential in the world to be a lead ball handler.
I’m projecting about 24-26 ppg and an all star nod next season.
I project he be in china
@@SuperTDSmith every team in the NBA would want a 6’6/6’7 floor spacing playmaker with perimeter creation and shooting. He’d average 50 in China
Taylor Scott Thompson Daniel Miller Brenda
no.
He plays for the Pistons, that’s what happened to him.
CADE is a 6’7 game manager
Because.... shi who is that.?
Can they not play Stew at the 4? Please? Also really not sure how they’re going to develop Holland while they have Ausar/Ivey/Duren as well. Gonna really need Ivey to become a floor spacer on C&S’s, and hopefully Stew can play like 15-18M at C and also space. That’d help a lot. Fred Vinson is gonna have his hands full for sure. If he can turn Ivey in to a decent 3P shooter, and somehow turn Ausar in to someone who can hit open C&S corner 3s in the next cpl years that’d be incredibly impressive.
I don’t know if Cade is a #1. I tend to think he’s more of a #2 or 1B at best, at least on a really good team. I definitely don’t think he should be a 30%+ USG guy. Someone else who is a decent defender, can hit 3s, and be at least a secondary ball handler would be huge. Like a Jalen Suggs or someone (shot 40% 3P on good volume this season) like that. We’ll see though. I have no doubt he’s very talented though and as long as he stays healthy will at least be a really good 2nd option.
They improved the spacing a decent bit, but they’re still missing pieces. Fontecchio is hopefully a legit solid volume shooter. Tobias can hopefully at least be a decent floor spacer. He’s overpaid for sure, and I heard they did try to get Buddy Hield which would’ve been nice but didn’t happen. Simply going to need some of the young guys to shoot it, run better lineups with more spacing, and like I said hope that investment in Fred Vinson pays off.
He's not a superstar and I don't think he ever will be, but I'd love for him to either prove me wrong, or be that second option on a championship team that I think he probably could be right now. Anything's possible though, he's barely 22 and just finished his third season. With his gifts being more geared toward perimeter creation, he could use a dominant interior force to play off of
2 days a still no like’s? You got Cade fu*ked up
@@IAmAbundunt
Got him fucked up with what, mild criticism?
taking them to the playoffs next year
Nasty 😊
No we do not NEED to talk about Cade ‼️😂
bUMP
Free cade send em to the lakers
Not buying into this "Cade getting forgot" narrative after a season where Cade generated quite a buzz for making All Stars game.
Cade didn’t make the All-Star game…
@@AlexHoops No he didn't. Sorry for the unfortunate wording. I meant there was a buzz his possible nomination, as there was fot the first time quite a few advocating for him to be included.
Man is going through the exact problem Lebron did, prolly even worse.
The pistons should go after Brandon Ingram
Absolutely not. Only a moron would want Ingram's next contract.
Cade is gimmicky and those players get exposed during the playoffs. He will be like demar derozan except he will be his own downfall not lebron james
What the fuck are you even on about?
1. Plays for the laughing stock Pistons. 2. Missed second season. 3. Not spectacular individually.
it’s not him it’s the team
He's part of the team
@@SuperTDSmith He has the worst collection of teammates we have ever seen, because they just fired the very worst GM in the history of this sport.
It's not on him.
He good player but not franchise
Overrated inedible non-impact turnover machine
You're an idiot, thank you for telling us that up front!
Detroit should’ve traded Cade instead of giving him the max. Cade is nowhere near an all star player.
Lol he is 22 and averaging close to 23 and 8 and you think he isn't close to being an all-star?
If he had better team mates around him he would be doing even better.
They have to give him Max or they will have no players
He's a total bust!!
You don't know shit about shit.
This is a big guard with empty stats
Bookers stats were empty until year 4 too
He's not good lolz
cade sucks
Cade is def ok with losing. Otherwise he wouldnt have resigned
But then u would say cade is a loser who runs from the grind and is soft cause he chose to leave
You do realize he'll be a restricted free agent and pistons have the control whether to let go him or not right?
@@winter9242 He probably doesn't know that, as he is putting his ignorance on full display here.

7.23 carry not a great fake pass
