Cunningham is now averaging 23.9 points, 7.0 rebounds and 9.7 assists per contest while shooting 45.3% from the field and 37.3% from the three-point range in 26 games.

There is a case to be made for the former first-overall pick to make his first NBA All-Star Game in 2025.

Via Pistons Jack: "Cade Cunningham just went into Phoenix and Los Angeles, and led his young team to a pair of W's against two of the NBA's greatest off all time.

All while averaging 24 points and 12 dimes... he's taken that leap."
