It seems like 1,000 years since the Detroit Pistons won the NBA Draft lottery and the right to draft Cade Cunningham with the first overall pick.
Since then there have been daily rumors about which teams are trying to trade up or about how Troy Weaver secretly likes some other prospect more and is working on a blockbuster deal to trade the number one pick.
But the truth is that is unlikely to happen, as Cunningham is the most complete prospect in the NBA Draft and a guy who has superstar written all over him.
The Detroit Pistons are nearly certain to take Cunningham in the NBA Draft, a fact which got slightly more real yesterday when he was spotted hanging out in Detroit.
Detroit Pistons: Cade Cunningham spotted at the Tigers’ game
Cade Cunningham’s camp always said that they were only going to work out for one team, and that team would be whichever one got the number one pick.
It appears Cunningham’s workout is approaching, as he was spotted by some fans going to a Tigers’ game.
Cunningham was reportedly attending the game with several Pistons including Saddiq Bey and coach Dwane Casey.
It’s likely he’s just in town for his workout, but it’s nice to see him getting used to the Detroit culture.
The crowd at the Tigers’ game gave him a warm welcome. Several videos showed the crowd chanting “We Want CADE!” much to the delight of the young prospect.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Cade Cunningham is 100 percent coming to Detroit but it’s a good sign that the Pistons are serious about drafting him with the number one pick.
We are just nine days from finding out for certain, but all signs point to Cade Cunningham being on the Detroit Pistons next season and it’s not too early to get excited about it.
