Dante Cunningham is listed by much pretty much everyone as an NBA power forward, which is only logical because the 6-foot-8, 230-pounder has logged 61 percent of his career minutes at the “four” position, according to Basketball-Reference.com. However, on a New Orleans Pelicans roster that includes All-NBA power forward Anthony Davis and quality reserve Ryan Anderson, last season Cunningham spent 73 percent of his court time at small forward. That experience will come in handy for Cunningham in 2015-16, because with Quincy Pondexter (left knee surgery) not expected to be available until November, the Villanova product will likely be the early starter at the wing position.
