Pelicans trade No. 53 pick in 2021 NBA Draft to Sixers

[imdaman99]

Only care who the Knicks get... which is likely a role player. Bouknight ain't falling and no one is trading down for 19 & 21 picks.

With the first pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Detroit Pistons, as expected, select Cade Cunningham.

He has serious skills.

Cade having a kid at 16

Cade getting picked first overall was pretty predictable. Number 2 and 3 picks should be pretty obvious as well. It's interesting to have these three top picks all have so much superstar potential.

Cade having a kid at 16

Didn't leave her, didn't force an abortion, and about to provide her w/ a great life. Sounds like he's pretty responsible, all things considered. Plenty of 16 y/o's would do worse.
