凯德·坎宁安真的开始向人们展示为什么底特律活塞队让他成为选秀状元。在他的第一个NBA赛季中，他每走一步都变得更好，并在球队的新秀记录上留下了自己的印记。
在输给洛杉矶快船的比赛中，坎宁安扳平了近40年来活塞队的新秀纪录。他在连续七场比赛中得了20分，只有凯利·特里普卡做到了。他最近把自己放在了伊塞亚·托马斯的地盘上，这表明他是球队历史上最好的年轻人之一。

坎宁安本可以在对阵夏洛特黄蜂队的比赛中再得一分，打破几场比赛的记录。由于他在前一场比赛中得了25分，他将连续9场比赛得到20分。在25分爆发之前，他在比赛中分别得了20分和17分。尽管他错过了确保记录的机会，但很明显，他才是真正的对手。
自从全明星赛结束后，坎宁安表现出色，活塞队踢得很好。坎宁安应该赢得新秀得分冠军，并最终获得年度最佳新秀奖。这位20岁的球员还应该在每场新秀助攻中排名第二，在每场新秀篮板中排名前五。
活塞队，即使他们找到了自己的步伐，仍然是18胜50负，只比联盟中最糟糕的记录领先半场。这个赛季是为球队解决成长中的困难，并获得最佳选秀权而制定的。他们已经做到了这一点，并且享受了一场非常好的新秀选战。

Cade Cunningham’s Pistons rookie record that even Grant Hill couldn’t touch
原文：
Cade Cunningham is truly starting to show why the Detroit Pistons made him the top overall draft pick. He has gotten better each step of the way in his first NBA campaign and has put himself all over the franchise’s rookie record books.
In a loss to the LA Clippers, Cunningham tied a Pistons rookie record that hasn’t been matched in nearly four decades. He scored 20 points in seven straight games, which only Kelly Tripucka has done. He recently put himself in Isiah Thomas’s territory, showing that he is one of the best youngsters in the history of the franchise.

Cunningham could have broken the record by a few games already by scoring just one more point against the Charlotte Hornets. Since he scored 25 the prior game, he would have had nine straight games with 20 points. He scored 20 points and 17 points respectively in the game prior to his 25-point outburst. Even though he missed out on securing the record, it’s obvious that he is the real deal.
Since the All-Star break, Cunningham has been phenomenal and the Pistons are playing very well. Cunningham should run away with the rookie scoring title and end up with a very good case for the Rookie of the Year Award. The 20-year-old should also end up second in rookie assists per game and top-five in rookie rebounds per game.
The Pistons, even as they find their stride, are 18-50 and just half a game ahead of the worst record in the league. This season was made for the team to sort out its growing pains and land a top draft pick. They have done just that and enjoyed a very good rookie campaign from their prized rook.
