Cade Cunningham Signs with Excel Sports Management

Cade Cunningham has taken the next step toward this year’s NBA Draft by procuring professional management, and now he has something in common with Blake Griffin and Taylor Swift.

Cade has signed with Excel Sports Management, the company announced via Twitter on Saturday.

Excel represents a ton of NBA talent including Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, Brandon Ingram and Ricky Rubio as well as the likes of Eli Manning, Justin Rose, Jim Nantz and Taylor Swift. The company has offices in New York, Los Angeles and Miami.

Excel boasts three NBA Rookie of the Year honorees, including Griffin, and its latest signee will look to make it a fourth next season. The company’s website also points out that its hoops clients have amassed 17 Olympic appearances, 60 NBA All-Star bids and that Excel Basketball has represented 50 first-round NBA Draft picks.

Cade will also have his older brother Cannen helping him as he makes the leap into a professional career. The elder Cunningham stepped down from his position on Mike Boynton’s Cowboy staff this week to help manage his brother and prepare him for the draft.
