And he arrives in the Motor City with much fanfare as the team continues to take steps in their rebuilding process to once again gain their place in the upper echelon of the NBA.

Cade Cunningham on the patience he has with himself: "Nothing is given to you. You have to be humble coming in and take it for what it is. If you can be consistent every day, the good things will come."
