Is it time to start talking about Cade Cunningham being the best pg in the east?

I see five possible candidates for this position currently, Cade, Brunson, lamelo, Maxey and trae, but Cade and Brunson seem to be in just a bit of a higher tier. If you just look at stats, Brunson only has more ppg(by 0.5)and higher efficiency, but cade averages 2 assists more than Brunson on a worse team. It can be argued that Cades stats are inflated due to his worse teammates, but the pistons are 6th, so it doesn’t hold much weight since they’re winning.

Looking past stats, Cade provides an alright amount of defensive presence all around, while Brunson is effectively a pylon. Cade is also tasked to more as his best teammate ranges from Ausar Thompson to Tobias Harris to Malik Beasley on any given night.

Overall while they’re both great. Cade is quietly having a breakout year and in my eyes is the best point in the east
