“Inefficiency” might sound like an analytics buzzword, but it matters a great deal. Cunningham’s true shooting percentage means he’s scored 50 fewer points than expected this season given his volume, per Basketball-Reference, which is the second-worst figure leaguewide. For reference, Nikola Jokic has 41 more points than expected—meaning Cunningham has cost the Pistons more points with his shooting than Jokic has added to the Nuggets.

Genuinely insane stat lol
