To no one’s surprise, the Detroit Pistons got their guy with the #1 overall pick during last night’s NBA Draft in Oklahoma State Guard Cade Cunningham after weeks of speculation that they could possibly lean elsewhere or even trade out of the pick. Cunningham will immediately make an impact on a young team that features rising prospects in Killian Hayes, Saddiq Bey, Isaiah Stewart, and Jerami Grant.
