Cunningham gives the Pistons a potential face of the franchise going into the future. He is a multi-dimensional, two-way player standing 6’8” that can do virtually anything on the basketball court.
Detroit will be happy to have him, as general manager Troy Weaver has done a great job overhauling the roster in his time with the organization.

One of the shrewd moves that they made was signing Jerami Grant in free agency last season. Grant was looking for a chance to show that he can be the focal point of an offensive attack and the Pistons were willing to give it to him.
Detroit and Grant agreed to a three-year, $60 million deal, which has proven to be a great decision for both sides. Grant performed well and the Detroit Pistons were rewarded for believing in him.
