Take the most straight-forward playmaking stats under consideration first. Cunningham, who’s now a two-time All-Star, leads the NBA in total assists, secondary assists and assists per minute with 15.4% of all passes turning into helpers for Cade this season. So, Cunningham is balancing a high output of potential assists with an efficient style on a Detroit team that lacks true three-point shooting depth outside of Duncan Robinson (and possibly Kevin Huerter).
