Rookie shooting percentage is dismal, and Cunningham is still tied for pistons all-time stars Hill and Thomas

Rookie shooting percentage is dismal, and Cunningham is still tied for pistons all-time stars Hill and Thomas

Draft pick Cade Cunningham still has a poor overall shooting percentage against the 76ers today, even the worst shooting percentage in the first three games in history, but he also handed in two double-doubles to get rid of the low tide of the first two games and become one of the two legendary stars in the history of the team.

Cunningham played 32 minutes today, and although he shot just 4 of 17 and hit only 1 of 7 three-pointers, he leaned on the free throw line and scored 18 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, becoming the third player in team history to achieve a double-double record in the first three games of his career after Grant Hill and "Smile Assassin" Isiah Thomas.

Pistons head coach Dwane Casey also gave him more possession in today's game and hopes to help him get back in shape, saying after the game: "I think he [Cunningham] played well in the first half, organizing and directing his teammates to run on the court, although his 3-point shooting rate is still not ideal, but I am not worried."

Although Cunningham is still looking for the rhythm on the field, he has begun to get better, "I just want to enjoy the game, the ball feels very good on me, although I played very inefficiently in the first 3 games of my career, but I am playing more and more comfortably." 」 Cunningham missed preseason training camp and warm-up games with an ankle sprain and has only recently returned to the field, allowing him to slowly adjust and wait for him to recover when the Pistons have no record pressure.
