Cade Cunningham really struggling early on

Eric Woodyard: #Pistons rookie Cade Cunningham is 3-22 from the field through his first 2 games. In the Shot Clock Era (since 1954-55), that’s the second-worst start from the floor through a player’s first two career games (min. 15 FGA), per @ESPNStatsInfo .

No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham off to a tough start: 3-22 FG, 0-14 3FG. Just gonna take time. He’s a good one. – 1:18 AM
Chad Ford @chadfordinsider
Another tough shooting night for Cade Cunningham.
2-14 FG, 0-9 3P. 2 reb, 3 ast, 2 TO.
The good news? He played 29 minutes. And again, I don’t think shooting will be a long-term problem for Cade. – 10:21 PM

More on this storyline

Phoenix guard Chris Paul passed two of the NBA’s great playmakers to move into third in NBA history in assists during Tuesday night’s 112-100 victory over the New Orleans. Paul moved into third when he notched his eighth assist of the game with 1:33 left in the second quarter with a pass to Jae Crowder for an open 3-pointer to give him 10,336 for his career. -via The Athletic / November 3, 2021
Paul entered the game fifth all-time with 10,328 assists, six behind Mark Jackson (10,334) and seven behind Steve Nash (10,335). He passed Jackson and tied Nash with a pass to Devin Booker that led to a 3-pointer with 4:17 left in the first. “It’s amazing,” Paul said in the postgame interview with TNT. “My family’s here, my dad, who put the ball in my hands when it first started. And playing against New Orleans, where it all started for me. That city will always be my family for me.” -via The Athletic / November 3, 2021
Michael Scotto: LaMarcus Aldridge just became the 48th player in NBA history to score 20,000 career points. He’s the seventh active player to reach that milestone, joining Kevin Durant, James Harden, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook. pic.twitter.com/tcD8xF8UN3 -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / October 30, 2021
