One month in, Cade Cunningham is living up to expectations

It hasn’t even been one month since Cade Cunningham made his Detroit Pistons debut against the Orlando Magic. Yet, Piston fans have already experienced the ups and downs of having a prized rookie on the team. After a sub-par first two games, Piston fans were in complete damage control, shielding ridiculous claims from aggregators and opposing fan bases that the newly instated “face of the franchise” was a “bust.”

Fresh off his first triple double, Cunningham has since averaged 16.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists. More importantly, the Pistons are 4-7 in games in which Cunningham plays, and 0-5 in games without the rookie guard.
