Jaden Ivey will enjoy the NBA’s wide open spaces

It’s been a long time since the Detroit Pistons had an elite athlete like Jaden Ivey on its roster

Shortly after the NBA Draft, Jaden Ivey said something that excited me more than any of the highlight dunks or elite burst I saw on his college film at Purdue. He said he’d always considered himself a shooting guard.

Why? Because he knows that the Detroit Pistons are Cade Cunningham’s team, and Cunningham will be the primary ball handler for as long as he’s on the roster. That doesn’t mean he can’t excel alongside another player with ball-handling, creating and point-guard skills.
