    Of Pendergraph and Cunningham.

    Initially, I liked Pendergraph better. Not really sure why. Taller, seems more tough. But the more I hear, read and see of Cunningham, that guy has a chance to be pretty good! He is ripped too. Both are pretty strong and want to be tough guys, but Cunningham seems to be stronger.

    They both rebound good (well, in SL) both have pretty good NBA bodies. But I think Dante has the better of the two. Dante can shoot a really good mid-range shot. He is almost like a baby LMA (but stronger). Like a 3 version of LMA.

    I like Jeffro too, but I think I am swaying towards Dante.

    Who do you like and why?

    Do you want both guys on the team next year? Or just one and some FA like Sean May?

    I kind of want both on the team. Dante at 3\4 and Jeffro at 4\5 but if I had to choose, right now I think I would take Dante.

    Might as well keep both. As you said, one as a 3/4 and the other as a 4/5.

    Yeah I say keep both. But for the sake of the poll, I voted Pendergraph. Can never have too many bigs.

    I like what both brought in that one SL game. They bring two different games, but have skills that could impact the game in limited minutes.

    Cunningham's game translates well to SL. I question his ability to do the same things against NBA-level athletes. He too short and he's too skinny to play that kind of game in the regular season.

    Also I said Pendergraph because RIGHT NOW, as is, Cunningham would be behind 3 SF's

    all right... if you pointed a gun at my head, I'd choose Pendergraph. The guy plays above the rim, is more of a 4 and can bang down low a bit, and has good length. There, you happy?? :devilwink:

    In the one summer league game, both played out of position. I think I'll wait longer.

    Keep both. Didn't get to see any video of the SL game, but I'm of the philosophy that keeping young guys in the 11-15 spots is better than old guys. I understand that's not commonly shared in here, though.

    Well, actually. Cunningham is a 3\4 and Pendergraph is a 4 who can play 5 if needed. Like Frye. Can play 5 but shouldn't.
