Disadvantages:

The speed is average, the explosive power and the first step are not very good, but in recent years, draft experts think the skill is >; Physical quality, for Cunningham, it is more important to know how to use the static conditions of the body to create space for the hands than to blindly pursue the speed of improvement;

Because of his big body, he can't defend the ball holder from shooting around the cover when picking and rolling.

Summary:

Generally speaking, Cunningham is a very versatile player, who can shoot, hold, pass and defend. He successfully brought a mediocre university team into "Crazy March" and successfully demonstrated his leadership. Although there are some defects in speed, Cunningham knows how to cover them up with his own figure and ball dealer-Dansis is the best young player in this field, but Cunningham is not as good as Dansis who won the Champions League MVP in many aspects.

Cunningham is a cornerstone player. People often compare him with a dancer. Maybe he is slightly weaker than Dongcic on the offensive end except holding three points, but he is expected to do better on the defensive end than Dansis and become a multi-position core player with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Cunningham is considered to be a popular candidate in this year's draft. Jeff Goodman, a famous NCAA player, said before the draw that Cunningham is the most suitable candidate no matter who wins the first prize. Draft expert Sam Weseni said that among the top five rookies this year, Mobry, Sage and Jay Green may all be the cornerstones of team building, but Cunningham is another realm.
