Cunningham, in 48 games, is averaging 16.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.2 steals this season on 40% shooting from the field. He currently leads the rookie class in scoring average and field goals made per game (6.1), and is second in assists. He is among several first-year players that have impressed this season in a rookie class that, as a whole, appears to be one of the best in recent memory. Pistons head coach Dwane Casey, unsurprisingly, would take Cunningham over those other rookies based on his performance this year.
