Carmelo Anthony on Cade Cunningham’s Path to Stardom
Carmelo Anthony recently shared insight on what Cade Cunningham needs to unlock his full potential as an NBA superstar. Over the past few seasons, Cunningham has quietly become one of the most dynamic young players in the league.
Anthony’s Perspective on Cunningham’s Growth
Although Anthony praised Cunningham’s talent and maturity, he emphasized that the guard’s overall development has not drastically shifted since being selected first overall in the 2021 NBA Draft. Still, Melo pointed out one clear area of progress.
“His feel,” Anthony said on his podcast 7PM in Brooklyn. “Like, the feel for the game, his flow of the game.”
Anthony explained that Cunningham is starting to internalize his role as the leader of the Pistons, recognizing both the confidence and accountability that come with it.
“He’s starting to understand that he’s wearing the white hat and he’s running that organ. With that comes confidence, and with that comes responsibility, too,” Melo noted.
From Rookie to Playmaker
In his first year, Cunningham averaged 5.6 assists per game. Since then, he has developed into one of the NBA’s elite playmakers. Last season, his assists rose to 9.1 per game, and he continues that pace this year, showing growth in decision-making and leadership.
Anthony’s Core Message
For Cunningham to reach true superstar status, Anthony believes he must fully embrace his leadership within the Pistons and continue refining his instinctive grasp of the game’s rhythm and flow.
Author’s Summary: Carmelo Anthony believes Cade Cunningham’s evolution into an NBA superstar depends on embracing leadership and deepening his natural feel for the game.
