The Next Big Thing: Jared Cunningham PT2

Jared Cunningham is back on TheSportsBoys... Now that the Pac-10 has changed around Jared Cunningham has a big chance at becoming an NCAA star, every year I go through my favorite team schedules and pick a few games I cannot miss and 11/29/11 is one of them, a chance to see Tony Wroten Jr (another TheSportsBoys favorite) and Jared Cunningham go at each other for 40 minutes. With a package that resembles Jason Richardson's;dunking, Derrick Rose' ballhandling, Rajon Rondo's defense, and Jason Richardson 's shooting stroke you can't dislike him, Bring his sheer talent into the league and you'll have an encyclopedia of different moves and a sensational amount of broken ankles. Jared has been helping OSU become relevant ever since his first day here, when I asked him about it today he had this to say:

"I just want to thank everyone for the support and I'm glad to be a beaver at OSU. This year will be exciting, So we want everyone to represent beaver nation world wide"

Perhaps one of the best descriptions of Jared is a comment by an anonymous reader on Jared Cunningham's first article here: Jared's strength is his athleticism which makes him scary in the passing lanes and open court. He definitely needs to improve on his fundamentals such as ball handling and his passing. But how many NBA players that are being drafted posses these skills already? A very small percentage. Jared is athletic as Westbrook but not as good off the dribble BUT HIS POTENTIAL IS THROUGH THE ROOF AS A RUSSELL WESTBROOK"

Jared has enough speed to be a top notch point guard, and melt opponents off the dribble, if you see him... they just turn soft like melted butter, then they worry about getting crossed the rest off the game and he scores on them like nothing. He attacks the rim like no point since Kevin Johnson and matches the top SG's like T-Mac and Vince in their prime, and again like Jason Richardson has a nice scoring touch, when Jared steps on the court you know he's gonna give his all. He's a pest when you try to play him because he does anything and everything you hate but people seem to sleep on him, when someone has a package that consists of Rajon Rondo,  Derrick Rose, and Jason Richardson people will like him, the question is when will they notice he is a monster... My guess is this is the year Jared Cunningham and the Oregon State Beavers become a force in college hoops, and you know his draft stock becomes at least lottery.
Jared Cunningham you and the Beavers always have TheSportsBoys support.

57-53

57: Tommy Heinsohn: Tommy H was a Celtic through and through, he was also a whisky drinkng, cigar smoking star and that's how we should remember him... Jokes the thing we should remember him for most is his heart, he was never giving up while you were playing!

56: Dolph Schayes: Could score, but not at a high percentage, he was his generations average percentage guy, but was way above average in the rebounding category!

55: Elvin Hayes: The original "Mail Fraud" what more can be said

54: Billy Cunninham: A 6-6 center who filled the sheet up in scoring and rebounding, seems like almost everyone else here so far!

53: Bill Sharman: Sharman was a mean shooter with a mean free throw, his set shot was not stoppable and he lived as a Celtic, Sharman was wrongly criticized when he became an LA Lakers executive which taints peoples perception of his loyalties sometime, let's fix that.

The Next Big Thing: Jared Cunningham

Ever seen Jared Cunningham fly? Probably not, but thats ok. Cunningham is 6'4'' 182 lbs but plays like he's 6'8'' and 225lbs, he's freakishly athletic and has amazing body control! In the air he controls his body like VC and MJ but with the explosiveness of Dominique Wilkins. Jared kisses the sky every time he goes up, he plays like GP. The similarities between Payton and Cunningham are eerie, both were born in Oakland, CA, both played amazing defense and could put the ball in the hoop, and obviously both went to Oregon State University. Cunningham is an amazing NBA prospect who I think will be amazing when he hits the NBA. He can win a dunk contest on his way to being a top player, quit the dunk contest get serious and win a ring. his handles are tight and precise, and his jump shot is beautiful. Don't believe me? watch these videos and see his sheer talent.

Now that you've seen his amazing skills, let's wait together for the day he gets drafted and hope he has the career length of Stockton not Penny. To the future of the NBA!
