Pros: Cunningham has a good amount of potential. Billy has a lot of upside offensively. Right now, he can't do much, but he shows some signs with a decent jumper and the ability to drain free throws. At a very weak position, he could develop into a player that could take advantage of weak defenders. His rebounding is average for a small forward, but he has the potential to become a very good rebounding forward. His greatest strength has to be his uncanny athletic ability. Cunningham never gets winded, has unreal vertical leap. He has unsual strength for his size and is quick. 

Cons: He won't be able to start and is a bit of a project. Right now, he'll be lost on the court not being able be contribute offensively or defend. He has a lot of potential, but he has no real upside defensively. Cunningham has very poor passing ability for a small forward and won't get any better.

Overall: Cunningham is going to be a project for any team. He is a bit risky, since he could not develop into a starter. Cunningham's skillset is a bit unusual, so many teams might pass on him given his defence. Billy could be an interesting player, given the lack of good defenders at small forward, he could take advantage with his offensive skill.

Projection: 10-17

PROS: Billy Cunningham has a lot of offensive potential. He could develop into one of the best jump shooters in the league. He also has decent size to help him get his shot off against defending Small Forwards. He also has the ability to become an above average rebounder at the 3.

CONS: He doesn't do anything defensively. He doesn't look to ever be counted on as one of the premiere stoppers in the league. He also isn't going to be the type of guy you plug into the line-up right away and start. He's a project so it's going to take 2-3 seasons before he's ready for major minutes.

OVERALL: Cunningham could develop into one of the best offensive players coming out of this year's draft but if he can't put it together with something on the other end I am not sure how valuable he'll be to a lot of teams in the league. Sure someone will get him but I think we'll see a bit of a slide with Billy in this year's draft.
