NBA Draft prospects to watch: Cade Cunningham, Oklahoma State
It’s no surprise to see Cade Cunningham at the top of this list. He’s been the most consistent and best player in college basketball this season. Averaging 20 points, six rebounds, and four assists per game, any team that has a chance to land one of the top two picks in the 2021 NBA Draft should keep a close eye on Oklahoma State throughout the NCAA Tournament.
Cunningham is a 6-foot-8 versatile wing that has the potential to be one of the NBA’s next great superstars. He can score from anywhere on the floor and is a good free-throw and 3-point shooter. His size and length also will give him the ability to be a good and versatile defender at the NBA level.
Cade Cunningham is likely the No. 1 player on most NBA teams’ boards heading into the NCAA Tournament and his performance will be more about solidifying those beliefs more than anything ahead of the NBA Draft.
