As soon as the Detroit Pistons won the NBA Draft Lottery, there has been speculation as to which number Cade Cunningham would wear if he ended up being the No. 1 overall pick considering No. 2 was retired by the Pistons in honor of Chuck Daly.
On Thursday night, the Pistons did select Cunningham and he will be wearing No. 2 for the Pistons.
Cunningham spoke to the media on Friday and he thanked Daly’s daughter Cydney for giving her blessing for him to wear No. 2 with the Pistons.
“Out of respect for Mr. Daly,” Cade said.
