The 2021 NBA Draft couldn’t draw more attention. With all the teams looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, the anticipation is high. The draft is set to take place on July 29th at the Barclays Center. Rumors and reports are flowing in by the second, and we are not that far from finalizing the talks. As we approach the draft, Cade Cunningham is a popular name going around.

Cade Cunningham in demand for 2021 NBA Draft

The first picks over the years have drawn tons of attention. This season, one of the most talked about players is Cade Cunningham. The 19-year-old has been a sensation this past season, and multiple teams seem to be interested in the youngster. The Oklahoma State Cowboys prodigy starred as a guard, before announcing that he will be forgoing his college career and signing up for the NBA Draft.

With the Detroit Pistons having the first pick, they are the favorites to land Cunningham. The deal makes sense too, considering that the Pistons had a poor outing last year and need an attacking prowess. Cunningham has drawn the eyes of multiple brands as well, and is set to become the NBA’s next big thing.
