Cannot implicitly convert type 'Int' to 'T'

Question

I can call Get(Stat); or Get(Name);

But when compiling I get:

Cannot implicitly convert typ

Answer 1

public T Get(Stats type ) where T : IConvertible
{
    if (typeof(T) == typeof(int))
    {
        int t = Convert.ToInt16(PlayerStats[type]);
        return (T)t;
    }
    if (typeof(T) == typeof(string))
    {
        string t = PlayerStats[type].ToString();
        return (T)t;
    }
}
