D.J. Cunningham brings rim protection and board-crashing value for UNC Asheville
Cunningham profiles as a classic interior anchor: in 2013-14 he posted 11.6 points, 9.9 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game, and he also led UNC Asheville in Big South play with 7.6 rebounds per game, showing he can tilt possessions on both ends. His calling card is size, shot-blocking and rebounding rather than shot creation, so he fits best with a team that wants a defensive center who finishes around the rim, cleans the glass and plays with a physical edge. He was also noted as having pro potential, which underscores his impact profile.[1][3][4]
