The Suns didn’t make it look all that difficult to replace an All-Star with the way a handful of players stepped up offensively.

In Phoenix, Cade Cunningham briefly went into kill mode. He got a taste of the wily Chris Paul. In 48 minutes, Cade experienced it all.
For one game, I watched the No. 1 pick and him only. I tried to see the game through Cunningham’s eyes:

Casey said Hayes and Cunningham are learning how to play off of each other, and are benefitting from each other’s presence. “That’s something that Pistons fans should get used to for a long time to come.” – 11:41 PM
![](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1333092338634285059/4OW88lro_normal.jpg)
Casey on the bench unit: “I think some of it is missing Kelly … but, we’re pros, you have to be ready to go.” He also had great praise for Hamidou Diallo. Called him one of the best pick-and-roll defenders. “I think he’s playing some of his best basketball right now.” – 11:39 PM

Casey said Hayes and Cunningham can learn about the “game within the game” from Chris Paul. Noted that Paul got Cunningham to commit his third foul midway through the first quarter. “We couldn’t get him out quick enough before he got the third.” – 11:38 PM

Booker on sidelines was looking down at the Pistons bench in what I believe was trying to make eye contact with Josh Jackson.
Have a question.:
How would Josh Jackson look playing for Monty Williams? #Suns #Pistons – 9:20 PM

Casey said Cade is starting to settle in after missing preseason and training camp. Wants to see Detroit’s shooting tick up before he considers any major lineup tweaks. “We want to make sure we get over the hump from that standpoint before we move to something else.” – 7:39 PM

Asked Dwane Casey about the Suns growth from the start of tenure in Detroit and it being a template for new Pistons: Said building the foundation, like Phoenix did, with patience and then adding the pieces down the line is the template. Pointed to the Suns and Hawks. – 7:36 PM
![](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1455730123949346818/xlgsZKkH_normal.jpg)
Casey: “I look back at Seattle when they got Durant, it took them how many years to grow in OKC. (Phoenix), look at how long it took them to grow. You may have some missteps along the way … but it can be done.” Said the key for Detroit is the foundation. – 7:34 PM

Casey on the Suns’ going from rebuild to contender: “Patience is key, and adding the veteran pieces to the young guys you already have once they grow up and take their butt-whoopings around the league. Phoenix is a great template for a lot of our young teams around the league.” – 7:33 PM
