The NBA is now full of talent, with the older generation of stars James Durant and Curry still in the works, and a new generation of young players who have become the league's masters, and there is no shortage of superstars in the East and West. It seems that the time has come for a hundred flowers to bloom. One player made his first All-Star in his career this year, and the improvement he showed this year has been a leap forward, and that player is Pistons star Cunningham.
When we look at Cunningham's stats for this season, it's incredible that this is only the fourth season of his career, but at the moment he's handed in superstar stats. He averaged 25.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game, with him averaging the third-highest number of assists per game in the league. At present, Kenningham has led the Pistons to the top six in the East, and you must know that the Pistons were still a perennial team in the past few years. Kenningham has almost single-handedly changed this team.
Many coaches in the league have praised Cunningham, such as Tyronn Lue, who believes that Cunningham has a chance to become the next Harden. Including many coaches, Cunningham's style of play is very similar to Doncic, and Cunningham seems to be a more disciplined player, so at the age of 23, Cunningham's future is limitless. He's all but going to lock up a superstar spot, and Cunningham will probably be one of the league's superstars for the next decade, and he'll have a huge following. It's just that at the moment, in a small ball market like the Pistons, he may not get as much attention.
Although the Pistons have made great progress this season, they still have obvious problems with their lineup, first of all, they don't have too many excellent shooters in their lineup, only Beasley is a player who is good at shooting, and if the Pistons can get more shooters in the future, they may make up for their shortcomings, and this team will become stronger. Kenningham is in no hurry, he's only 23 years old, and he has the patience to lead the Pistons team to make a name for themselves in the East.
