While Jalen Green is just a guy with bounce and sex appeal, I don’t think Cade Cunningham is a franchise player either.

he's clearly a franchise guy as this season is showing. People took him playing with mostly out of the league bums as him too being bad. HE started 100+ games with Killian Hayes next to him soon as he gets remotely decent shooters he's averaging damn near a triple double with high efficiency scoring and no foul calls

Yeah bro, you looking at numbers. Im
looking at postseason contention. Detroit stinks and he isn’t making them play at a higher level like proper franchise players do.

He’s a second guy on a championship team, imo. Nothing is wrong with that.

If he can get them into the playoffs, im willing to change my mind

he's 23. his best team mates in five years have been Tobias Harris and Malik Beasley arguably lol

duren stinks. Ivey is inconsistent. Cade is the best defender in the starting five, arguably the second or third best on the team besides Stewart who is an undersized back up big and ausar who had blood clots. He's literally about to get Malik Beasley paid same way he got bum as Marvin Bailey paid. it's not 2000 anymore y'all talk about basketball in a dumb way. No one player is carrying bums to anything anymore. Jokic just lost to the wizards while having to drop 50. LeBron and AD combined for 70 and couldn't beat the hawks. The top 3-4 teams all have 5-7 legit high level rotation players with at least two all stars on the team with them. Boston has 2, Cavs have arguably 3-4, Knicks have KAT and Brunson. Cade is very much clearly not just a franchise guy but the best point guard 23 or under in the entire league. Also he's getting better...

LeBron was the only player able to carry bums in the 00s. You always need at least 2 stars and quality role players.

This is one of those superlatives people say that means nothing.

We will see, but I am not convinced he a guy that leads you to a title.
