Last week, the latest edition of the rookie list was officially announced, and Corningham reached the top for the first time.
As a 21-year draft pick, Cunningham is known as the strongest fighting force in this draft, and it took half a season to debut at the top of the list, which is not too ideal.
Cunningham's strengths have not yet been fully revealed, and his lack of physical fitness, lack of explosiveness and physical confrontation are exposed to everyone.
The data display is that there are many mistakes and poor hit rates. He averaged 5.2 assists per game but made 3.4 turnovers and shot less than 40 percent from the field.
Cunningham is currently the rookie's number one scorer, which is also the result of the accumulation of rookies' average shots in the first game, Cunningham averaged 3 more shots per game than Wagner Jr., who is second in the scoring list, but only scored 0.1 more points.
It's not that Cunningham is useless, he's still good, very well-rounded, very smart, and as a rookie he's been able to influence his teammates on the pitch.
If the best rookie is selected, the first choice will never be him.
The best rookie judging is generally based on two aspects, absolutely outstanding personal data or absolute stadium influence greatly improve the team's record.
The Pistons have struggled this season, winning just 12 games so far, second-to-last in the East, and coincidentally the second-to-last team in the East for the Magic, the second-highest rookie scorer, which can also show from another aspect that high scoring does not necessarily help the team win.
In my opinion, the most suitable candidate is the Cavaliers' Mobley.
Personal data, averaging 14.9 points per game rookie third, averaging 8.1 rebounds per game rookie first, averaging 1.7 assists per game is also the rookie first, 50% of the shooting rate is not too good among the inside players, compared to the top two in the scoring list is still much stronger. More importantly, the Cavaliers have been reborn this season and currently have a fourth-place record in the East.
Personal data, team data are good, and In a more balanced situation, Mobley is the best candidate for the best rookie.
