The ability improvement is quite obvious! The Pistons No. 1 pick only has problems with shooting and turnover control

In a previous NBA playoff game, the New York Knicks defeated the Detroit Pistons who played at home 116-113 with Jalen Brunson's final victory. After this game, the Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference semi-finals with a total score of 4-2. They will face the defending champion Boston Celtics who easily defeated the Orlando Magic with a total score of 4-1 in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

In this game, the Pistons' starting point guard Cade Cunningham's performance was slightly worse. Canning played 44 minutes and 03 seconds in a safe field, made 9 of 22 shots, 0 of 8 from outside the three-point line, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored the team's highest score of 23 points, plus 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. He also had 3 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -2. Cunningham performed quite well on the defensive end, his personal defensive ability is very outstanding, and his defensive contribution is also visible to the naked eye. Cunningham also showed good passing and organizational skills on the offensive end, and his performance in breakthroughs and finishing is also worthy of recognition. The problem is that Cunningham's outside shots were really eye-catching. He made a lot of outside shots, but the actual effect was really bad. If Cunningham performs slightly better in outside shooting, the Pistons may have won the game.

In the NBA regular season this season, Cunningham played a total of 70 games in 82 games, averaging 35 minutes per game, averaging 26.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 0.8 blocks, and 4.4 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. He shot 46.9%, three-point shooting percentage 35.6%, and free throw shooting percentage 84.6%. In the playoffs, Cunningham averaged 41.3 minutes in 6 games, with averaging 25 points, 8.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks, and 5.3 turnovers and 3.3 fouls. He shot 42.6%, three-point shooting percentage 17.9%, and free throw shooting percentage 83.3%.

Cunningham's progress this season is obvious to everyone. He has indeed become the team's undisputed backcourt core. Under his leadership, the team's record has improved significantly. Moreover, they are able to maintain a balanced state with the experienced Knicks in this round of series in the playoffs. These can illustrate Cunningham's personal ability and leadership ability. However, there are also many links that need to be improved. He did not do ideally in the control of mistakes. His mistakes are really higher, and his efficiency outside the three-point line in the playoffs is really disappointing. If Cunningham can improve his weaknesses in these areas this summer, the young Pistons will become even more terrifying next season.
