Dante Cunningham had an okay year. For his career, Cunningham averages 6 points, 3 rebounds, and about 0.5 blocks a game. For the 2015-16 NBA season, Cunningham averaged 6 points, 3 rebounds, and 0.4 blocks per a game. The funny part? Dante's "okay" year was one of the bright spots in this dark and stormy Pelicans season.
Damn Dante
Dante's season stats fall right in line with his career averages? So why did Dante Cunningham have possibly the most successful Pelicans season?
Two reasons: One, he was the only player on the Pelicans entire roster with a guaranteed contract to not miss a single game due to injury.
