Dante Cunningham came in the tenth spot in our staff’s Pelicans Rank accumulating a total score of 70. The versatile wing defender/power forward was brought in last season to add depth to both positions. Dell Demps signed Cunningham to the New Orleans Pelicans off the street last season, and Cunningham represents another one of the solid rotational guys that Demps has acquired for next to nothing.
After being drafted in the second round by the Portland Trailblazers and bouncing around the league for a few seasons as a journeyman, Cunningham was briefly out of the league after his girlfriend accused him of choking her.
