With the NBA Draft in the rearview mirror now, let’s take a look at what some people are saying about Dante Cunningham going 33rd overall to the Portland Trailblazers.
- Most importantly, Dante knows he must continue to work hard.
- Villanova coach Jay Wright thinks Dante is a good fit for the Trailblazers.
- Trailblazers GM Kevin Pritchard and coach Nate McMillan got the players they wanted, including Cunningham.
- The Big East was the best conference last season, and it shows with 9 players from the conference being selected in the draft.

I personally was not surprised. If you look back and watch how Dante plays you will see he held his ground against the top players. Also his ability to defend and how he is able to run the court coupled with his outside shot you will see he will have a role in the NBA. That’s only half the story his work ethic is a model for all young people.
