2021 NBA Draft Odds: Cade Cunningham Massive Favorite to Be No. 1 Pick

While most of the basketball world is locked in on the NBA Finals, others are looking forward to the fast-approaching NBA Draft. The draft will take place later this month on Thursday, July 29, and there's a clear frontrunner to be the No. 1 overall pick in Oklahoma State's Cade Cunningham.

The freshman standout could be a star at the next level and the Detroit Pistons are in position to select Cunningham as their next franchise player. Cunningham is the overwhelming favorite at -6000 odds to be the No. 1 pick in the draft, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

Oddsmakers clearly have given Cunningham a massive edge over other talented prospects to be the top pick. The next closest in the odds to go No. 1 overall is NBA G League guard Jalen Green at +1600 and USC big man Evan Mobley at +2600.

Cunningham demonstrated his potential during an electric year with the Oklahoma State Cowboys. He averaged 20.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game while shooting 40.0% from 3-point range.

Listed at 6-foot-8, Cunningham projects as a two-way fiend at the next level with playmaking abilities. Given that skillset, it's easy to see why some teams are exploring ways to trade up for the 19-year-old.
