Cade Cunningham wore down in last season’s playoff series against the Knicks, something he vowed was not going to happen again.
Cunningham admitted that he wasn’t ready for the rigors of a full regular season and playoffs, and the Knicks didn’t make it any easier by trapping him every time he touched the ball.
It showed, as Cunningham’s legs weren’t under him, which led to poor 3-point shooting and a couple of key missed shots late in games.
It was a point of conversation on a recent episode of the Game Theory podcast, (these guys are great if you don't know already) when the hosts were discussing what tangible things Cunningham learned from the playoffs.
