NBA: 1 Breakout candidate for every team heading into 2022-23
Detroit Pistons – Cade Cunningham
The Detroit Pistons have one of the most talented rosters in the league and a big part of that is second-year guard Cade Cunningham. And after the solid rookie season he had, he’ll be in a position where he can make even bigger strides this season.
Toward the final two months of the season, Cunningham looked like a different player. He was confident, efficient, and something seemed to have clicked for him. Cunningham will be asked to lead this young Pistons team this season.
Golden State Warriors – James Wiseman
After missing his entire second season due to injury, James Wiseman could be a real difference-maker for the defending champion Golden State Warriors this season. He’s arguably the most talented of their young prospects and plays a position that could be considered the Warriors’ biggest weakness.
