EIt was one of the designated dates for NBA fans and especially for Detroit Pistons fans. Cade Cunningham, brand new No. 1 in the draft and one of the league’s great future projects, was making his official debut with the Motown team. A franchise that has seen in the shooting guard trained at the University of Oklahoma State the cornerstone on which to build a team that returns to have aspirations as they did in the past. But for now they will have to wait.
The guard started and played 19 minutes in his first game with the Pistons jersey after overcoming his ankle injury. Cunningham left a good feeling when it came to contributing in all facets of the game, as he demonstrated with seven rebounds, two assists and a block. However, when it came to scoring the ring, he seemed to have a lock on for him.
Cunningham scored just two points after scoring one of eight shots from the field he tried and missing all five shots he had from the 3-pointer. In total, a 12.5% shooting from the field, which is the worst percentage for a number 1 in the draft in his NBA debut since 2013 when Anthony Bennet, described as the “biggest puff in the history of the draft. The power forward started with a zero-of-five shooting from the field in his first game with the Cavs against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Bad example for Cunningham, on whom experts and fans have high expectations (based on the majority despite the blur of his debut) and who came to the NBA with a clear model to follow. “Doncic. I feel that our body type is similar, it is the most similar of the current ones in the NBA. And also his role. He is in charge of organizing the plays, he has the ball for a long time … that’s why I say Luka when They ask me”. Now he will have to improve his performance to follow in the Slovenian’s footsteps.

The current NBA champions, the Milwaukee Bucks, they do not finish starting in the defense of their ring. Despite the efforts of Giannis Antetokounmpo (28 points and 13 rebounds for him), the Greek is very alone in the Wisconsin team, who misses Jrue Holiday too much and needs more offensive participation from other players than Middleton or the team’s MVP as he demonstrated against some surprising Spurs.
Fans of Madison Square Garden, one of the most suffered hobbies in the NBA in decades, continue to rub their eyes with their team. The New Yorkers are the best team in the Eastern Conference after adding their fifth victory in a resounding way against some Pelicans that are beginning to look very bad. Quite the opposite in a Knicks where everything is good news as has been the explosion of RJ Barrett. The Canadian begins to justify the scoring fame with which he came from the NCAA and against the Louisiana team he uncovered with 35 points and 65% accuracy in field goals.
Another of the great surprises of this start to the NBA season are being the Chicago Bulls. The Illinois team has exceeded all the forecasts that placed it as one of the cocks of the East and has started the course as a shot as it demonstrated in its victory against the Utah Jazz, who arrived in Chicago undefeated. A triumph led by a DeMar DeRozan that shows in each game the success of his signing.
Ime Udoka has a lot of work ahead of her in these Boston Celtics. The ‘green’ team is leaving a very bad feeling at the beginning of the course. Especially when attacking the rival ring from long distance. Against the Washington Wizard (fourth loss of the season), the Celtics began the match with a blushing zero of 19 from the triple to finish with two of 26.
