He mentioned he was going to the NBA in march, but now it looks done.

If Portland was smart, they would get their two top 10's plus trade up into the 25-30 range and snag Cunningham.

He's not worth a 1st round pick

He will likely end up playing overseas

I say he's probably at best a good role player but more than likely a D-Leaguer with his best chances at success in Europe.

Would have been better for him to stay in school.

Puzzling decision. Oregon St. would have been a top 5 team in the conference with him next year. Should have stayed another year and finished up his degree. He'll be lucky to be drafted late in the 2nd round.
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”
