Exactly. Suggs/Giddey are the only other rookies who have to create for others while creating the lion's share of their own offense. Cade of those 3 is seeing an insane amount of defensive attention for a rookie. Coincidentally, these 3 have had efficiency struggles. Whether you think its something inherent in their game or because of their role is a different matter. I tend to fall in the latter camp.
Magic fans, my apologies. I see now a Pistons fan interjected initially.
