Still no official word when #Pistons No. 1 pick Cade Cunningham will make his debut. Coach Dwane Casey says he went through drills today, and they’ll see where he is tomorrow, but they won’t put a timetable on his return. “He’ll go when he can go,” Casey said. – 2:16 PM

Casey said he hopes fans don’t put too much pressure on Cade. Thinks he’ll be a great player, but there is going to be a process. “We aren’t 0-4 because of Cade Cunningham. … He’s not going to save the day.” – 2:13 PM

#Pistons Dwane Casey on what Cade Cunningham brings on both ends: “He’s going to bring ball movement and he’ll have the ball in his hands…making decisions with the basketball is the most important thing he’ll have to do against pressure.” – 2:11 PM

#Pistons Frank Jackson on Cade Cunningham’s versatility helping: “He’s going to bring some juice right away. He’s been working hard, rehabbing and doing all the little things. It’ll be fun to get him out there and get rolling.” – 2:03 PM

I watched some of Pistons-76ers:
-I don’t really care to watch much more of DET until Cade Cunningham is back. That offense is gross.
-Love when Embiid goes into monster mode. Can that sustain all 82?
-Maxey is figuring it out. Baby steps as a passer.
-Shake helps a lot – 10:15 AM
