Detroit Pistons star Cade Cunningham is demonstrating why he was the first overall pick, with NBA legend Steve Nash praising a key skill that distinguishes him: his passing.

Impressive Early Season Performance

Cunningham is averaging 25.6 points, 9.7 assists, and 4.8 rebounds across nine games, helping Detroit start strong and lead the Eastern Conference.

Nash’s Praise for Cunningham’s Playmaking

“I actually want to give a nod to Cade’s passing. You know, we always knew he’s a playmaker, he can make plays for others, of course, makes his teammates better, but I feel like he’s even taken another step.”
“Just in general, he’s making early passes, late passes, short passes, the long pass ahead. He’s making the corner pass over the top. He’s kind of gotten every pass in his bag now, and it’s really impressive to watch him have command, and you can’t speed him up with his size.”

Leading the Pistons to Success

Cunningham’s playmaking and scoring have contributed to the Pistons’ 7-2 record, a significant turnaround from their 14-68 mark in the 2023–24 season. He is shooting 46.6% from the field, showcasing efficiency alongside his all-around impact.
