New Orleans Pelicans Will Ask “Bigger” Role of Dante Cunningham

Dante Cunningham is coming off a strong 2015-2016 season for the New Orleans Pelicans.

Cunningham averaged 6.1 points, three rebounds and one assist in 80 games played last year. With his average of 24.6 minutes per game, it’s clear to see just how big a role he played.

Dante saw a good mix of minutes, but his focus last year was flexibility. While he did play some small forward, the Pelicans wanted to use him at the power forward spot as well. It was a good balance for him.

He went through changes constantly last season.
