Cunningham, the 2021 No. 1 overall pick, led the Pistons to the East's best regular-season record last year and their first No. 1 seed since 2007. He was also named to the All-NBA First Team, finished second in the league in assists and was even part of MVP conversations. The 6-foot-6 point guard plays a methodical, physical style, and he doesn't rely on explosive athleticism so much as size, craft and vision. He's the engine of everything Detroit does offensively, averaging 25.0 points and 9.5 assists on 47/35/83 shooting splits over the past two campaigns. While one of the best distributors in the league, Cunningham has struggled with turnovers in his career, never averaging fewer than 3.3 per game for a full season in his five-year career. Health concerns became a knock on Cunningham's profile after a shin surgery wiped out his second season, and he's yet to be fully healthy for an entire season, racking up 50 regular-season absences over the past three seasons, most recently due to a collapsed lung that he eventually played through during the Pistons' 2026 postseason run. The playoffs ended in disappointment, as Detroit couldn't cash in on its top seed and the Knicks stormed through the East. However, that shouldn't dent Cunningham's 2026-27 outlook, as he'll operate as the offensive fulcrum once again after the Pistons only made slight changes to their roster. In fantasy drafts, Cunningham belongs in the late first or early second round of points leagues, where his counting-stat volume shines brightest, and the second round of category formats, where turnovers and middling percentages knock him slightly. He's a foundational dynasty asset and one of the safest sources of assists in the league.
