Steve Nash praises one skill that makes Cade Cunningham elite
Detroit Pistons star Cade Cunningham is quickly proving why he was the first overall pick. NBA legend Steve Nash has highlighted one skill that truly separates him from others — his passing.
“I actually want to give a nod to Cade’s passing,” Nash said. “We always knew he’s a playmaker who makes his teammates better, but I feel like he’s taken another step.”
“He’s making early passes, late passes, short passes, long passes ahead. He’s finding the corner over the top. He now seems to have every pass in his bag, and it’s impressive to watch him control the game — you can’t rush him, especially with his size.”
Cunningham has led Detroit to a strong start, averaging 25.6 points, 9.7 assists, and 4.8 rebounds while shooting 46.6% from the field across nine games. The Pistons stand at 7–2, holding the top position in the Eastern Conference early in the season.
