10 Bold predictions for the Pistons and NBA in 2024-25 season

#8: Cade Cunningham will make the All-Star team 

This might not be a bold prediction, as Cade put up All-Star level numbers last year on a bad team. If the Pistons are closer to 30 wins this season, he’ll get some love, even though little has come this offseason. 

I think Cade’s overall numbers will stay the same, though we will see a leap in assists and he’ll finish in the top-5 in the NBA in that category. That and an improved win total will get him his first All-Star nod. 

#7: Jaden Ivey finishes top-5 in the Most Improved Player award 

This would be a big deal for Ivey, as it will mean that the Pistons have likely won more games and that he was a big part of it. 

We may not see huge bumps in his counting stats, though I do think he’ll be closer to 20 points per game, but we will see a big leap in efficiency and defense. Ivey could have the type of breakout season enjoyed by Coby White last year, where he puts up 20 efficient points per game and cements himself as this team’s second option.
