Jared Cunningham

[The Red Viper]

Cunningham has the raw attributed to well in the league but his ball-handling and game IQ is where he needs to improve. I wanted us to develop him but I guess the coaching staff and management aren't high on him. Eitherway, Good luck to him.

Sigh. We need young athletic backcourt defenders more than we need a creaky aging guy who can shoot 3-pointers. Wish we had tried to develop Cunningham...

 

[Pioneer10]

Sad to see him go: I though we found a niche for him as a 3 and D combo guard. Frankly the team defense looked the best when we had him in there with Delly, TT, in the rotation

Agreed. I still think he has some great NBA potential, hes a freak athlete who can stay in front of people with relative ease & he can beat players off the dribble, wish we gave him all the minutes we gave to Mo this season, given him a chance to prove himself & develop

This team just does not seem to give a damn about youth and athleticism. That is the opposite of the way the NBA is going.

Gonna miss him, I liked his upside.

The Cavs gave him more of a chance than the other 4 teams he's been on combined. No reason to cry over him. He was given a chance on a title contender, but in the end he was just a dime a dozen D-Leaguer.

You can't play a guy who is a complete trainwreck on one side of the ball...we can go and sign a young, "athletic freak" with the ability to stay in front of people on defense right now if we wanted to...the D League is stocked full of them.

Bingo, I get that people get attached to guys wearing the right colors, but you can find a Jared Cunningham in a heartbeat if you need one.

Man, those old guys on our team like Kyrie, Tristan, Shump, K Love, and Delly are really getting up there...that's more than half of our rotation at an average age of 24.8...screw youth.

We can go sign 20 Cunningham clones from the D League today if we wanted to.
