Ya'll are focusing way too much on him being a jack of all trades and not enough on him being an ace of none. And when I say ace, I don't mean all-star level. I mean competent NBA player level.
This is why he makes $3M/yr. He's isn't an ace of anything. But he can still hit a 3, finish, and play good defense. No one that has watched him play over the last 2 years would say he's anything close to a liability on defense. He literally comes in the game just for defense at the end of games, b/c he can switch onto just about anyone and guard them effectively.

He is not a good slasher or finisher.
Yes he is. Do you watch the games? Are you confusing slasher/finisher with a guy that penetrates? If you hit DC cutting to the goal, he's going to dunk it. He is the best on the team at it without a doubt. Problem is our offense has little movement so you don't see it often.
quote:
He makes 1.3 2 point FGs per game and 0.3 FTs in 24 minutes. He has a PER of 8.98. His real plus minus is -1.94. Solomon Hill is the only player on the team besides the big 3 who has a positive real plus minus at .01.
So you don't watch games and base everything on stats. Gotcha.
Cunningham isnt' awful on offense. Anyone that hits 40% of their 3's isn't awful. If you hit him cutting to the goal, he will dunk it and finish the play. No he doesn't get to the free throw line. It's b/c he never has the ball except to shoot a three or finish at the rim after cutting to the basket. That's his role. He ins't a scorer, a ball handler, or a facilitator, which is why he makes $3M/yr.
Hill is a better defender than him, but that doesn't mean Cunningham sucks on defense. Hill is worse on offense, and makes a lot more money than him. No one cares when Hill shoots a 3. that's a win for the defense. You at least have to respect Cunningham when he shoots.
