While Cunningham was an All-Star caliber player last season, the Pistons were the worst team in the NBA.

They finished as the 15th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 14-68 record.

Over the offseason, the Pistons added veterans such as Tobias Harris and Malik Beasley, which should make them more competitive.

Cunningham was the first pick in the 2021 NBA Draft after one season of college basketball.

He has spent all three seasons with the Pistons, and there is no question that he can be an All-Star at some point over the next three years.

His career averages are 20.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 43.2% from the field and 32.9% from the three-point range in 138 games.
