Coli.
I love the cut of his jib. In a year or two he will cut those 3-17 and 5-21 games by 90 percent
pretty much this takes time for Guards to get use to the League :yeshrug: I believe he will get stronger and figure it out in a few years and nothing wrong with that.

Jalen Green is a role player while Cade has the keys to the team and the ball always in his hands

Cade is more responsible for the teams success/failure

Cade has better surrounding players than Jalen except Pistons are still worse than rockets

keep getting blinded by triple doubles breh

empty stats don’t impress me that much but Cade does have a nice Jumpshot one thing he does better than Jalen currently
nikkas that say empty stats are top five woat at reading basketball
It’s ok to be wrong. Which you are. If you swap Cade and green the pistons are even worse and the rockets actually make sense with him as a lead guard over KPJ.

@DoubleClutch


You just dont see Jalen making these types of plays :yeshrug:

I think Jalen is going to be an all star type player one day, but in the Beal, Lavine tier of player.

:mjlol: But Y’all was calling him the next Kobe(maybe not you specifically idk) saying he was gonna average over 20 and shyt out the gate.

Jalen green physically and mentally cannot make plays like that because jalen green can’t play defense. Give Cade a real rim protector and another guard that can shoot/score 12 or more and they a play in team next year.

yep Cade on the rockets is a good fit. Rockets don’t have a point guard/leader

Jalen green and Killian might have been a nice backcourt

but pistons basically have thrown Killian to the bushes in favor of Cade

you’re arguing my point

Jalen should’ve been the top pick and a piston

Rockets team is not using him right and not developing him

Just the simple fact that CORY JOSEPH would be the best point guard on the rockets tells you who has a better team

I been watching the pistons. They got nice pieces who play hard every night and know their role

Rockets on the other hand :francis:

None of the top five teams would have been better with green
Pistons with green and Killian would be awful

pistons with Cade and basically no Killian are awful still breh

it can only go up from there. Killian might’ve thrived next to Jalen and Jalen might’ve been a better fit for Grant as well

it’s all a what if scenario but we know Cade being THE guy for the pistons comes at the expense of other pistons starters/key pieces and maybe that’s why Pistons are not winning.

It doesn’t come at the expense of shyt lol
Pistons are 7-9 since the new year started. Cade started the season hurt with no training camp
Saddiq Bey started with an uncharacteristically bad shooting slump
Hayes couldn’t buy ten points and hasn’t played ten games in a row yet
Jerami Grant was up and down but he’s been going for like a month
Kelly O’Lynyk has been hurt and has played maybe 7 games
COVID protocols as well

this team isn’t as bad as the first month or two showed them to be and they for damn sure aren’t that much worse than the rockets who also had their issues.

nothing about anything Jalen green has done from high school to now lends us to thinking he could fit with a playmaker who can’t shoot. The struggle would have been as bad if not worse with green and j doubt considerably giving a 6’4 185 pound 2 guard the shots Cade has made would be much better than what Detroit is doing with Cade. Add to that Jalen isn’t a playmaker, isn’t a good rebounder, doesn’t play defense, and can’t doesn’t have as good of a jumper as Cade is enough for me, scouts, and analyst to agree Cade is and was always the number one pick with only Evan Mobley as competition for that spot

If you want to know why PG with floor spacing ability seems to be draft risers... Just look at the starting PG in the NBA. It's rough out here.
