EDGE Analysis

Cunningham finished just one assist away from opening the season with back-to-back 20-point double-doubles. The star floor general is making his presence felt as the engine that keeps the Pistons' offense flowing. If there's one area in which he could improve, that's his three-point shooting -- he's made only four of his 14 attempts from beyond the arc so far.

Cunningham recorded 23 points (8-24 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-10 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 34 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 115-111 loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Cunningham didn't have the most efficient night, but the usage was certainly encouraging. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said before the season that he had no interest in reducing Cunningham's sky-high usage rate, and there is even more on his plate offensively in the absence of Jaden Ivey (knee).

EDGE Analysis

Despite a slow start, Cunningham came alive in the second quarter before being rested for the second half. The Pistons overcame a fast-starting Grizzlies, taking control of the game on the back of some inspired play by Cunningham. Coming off a statement campaign during the 2024-25 season, Cunningham will be looking to take Detroit to another level. He will undoubtedly be the head of the snake and looks set for another standout season.
