I remember a season ago on here, posters were saying he was a bust, and I'm not sure why, yeah sure the Pistons sucked badly the last two seasons but he's been playing like a #1 pick should be playing, he is clearly the best player on the team and currently is in position to make the Play-In tournament and might sneak into the Postseason, ending Detroit's drought.

I don't think I'd say he's THE best point guard in the league, but if you were to ask me the top 10, he'd be somewhere in that 6th-9th spot.

What makes him a better scorer? Cade is more efficient shoots better from the field and shoots better from three. he has better handles and a better jump shot with a post game.

I mean unless you got some other metrics you judging on
I’ve never seen Cade double teamed like Memphis was doing Jalen last night

Jalen is more inconsistent but if you look up their top scoring performances it’s clear Jalens the better more explosive scorer

Cade is less erratic and scores more within the flow of the offense as he should being a point guard

Jalen breaks down defenses and is a much better ISO scorer

Also Jalen finishes better above the rim and goes over defenders where as Cade must be more crafty and below the rim

He's not a more explosive scorer. Cade has more 20 and 30 point games this season. Jalen has 1 more 40 point game than Cade. Cade hasn't had a single digit scoring game all season. Jalen has 5 single digit scoring games.

You don't double team a point guard. You might blitz him off a PnR but you don't just send doubles at the best passer on a given team. What an ass metric to try and tier a persons scoring ability.
