On February 19, Beijing time, in the just-concluded 2022 NBA All-Star Rookie Game, Barry fought two rounds and finally won the rookie game.
The MVP of the rookie game also belongs to Barry's Cade Cunningham, in these two games, Cunningham shot 7 of 13, a total of 18 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists of the full stats. In today's game, Barry relied heavily on Cunningham's organization to win the game.
As the leading pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Pistons have cultivated Cunningham as the core of the future this season. Although the Pistons are dominated by young players, there are not many players who can really fight hard. So the team's record is very bad, currently only in the second-to-last place in the East with 13 wins and 45 losses, but it also gives Cunningham enough opportunities to exercise.
He started his first season this year and has played 44 games for the Pistons' starters so far. Averaging 31.8 minutes per game, he averaged 15.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 steals. He shot 39.4 percent from the field and 32.7 percent from three-point range.
To be honest, Cunningham's performance this season is not so eye-catching, and his stats are largely due to the large number of opportunities he has in the team, and his shooting percentage still has a lot of room for improvement.
The Pistons are currently in the rebuilding phase of the team, and most of the team is young players, so it is normal that the record is not good. At the end of the season they will not unexpectedly have a high pick in the 2022 draft, when they should make up for a team that lacks talented young players.
