he's a sure thing and will restore that franchise

he’s a safe pick. But does he even get any better?

his strength is size and passing and shooting ability

But he’s a boring player after that. Not much more he can develop into in my eyes

he’s no grant hill. Grant hill was a freak athlete

Low motor, not very athletic, doesn’t seem particularly hungry which is the case for a lot of players who have been on a similar path.

He’s a reclass, #1 ranking for a few years in high school, dominated due to his size, went to Monteverde; sounds a lot like Ben Simmons :sas1:

He should be a fine NBA player but he’s not a future superstar

The athleticism is probably the only thing that might be a concern, but look at how good melo was and I'd pretty safely say cade is a better athlete

I can see why ppl might like other guys more but he's pretty close to being a sure thing in terms of being a nightmare to guard

I'm sorry I don't see it with Cade going forward, he's a cheap Man's grant hill at best,

While he is a three level scorer he had to dominate the ball to get to that level which might bode him well in the current structure of the NBA but he isn't elite at any aspect of his game.....

Clearly you wasn’t watching Oklahoma state


Sound like you probably seen one or two tournament games.

you just compared a player that can score at all levels and a good catch and shoot player and pull up off the dribble and hit 3’s to Ben Simmons.

I’m a Green guy myself but Cade will be nice. I just don’t think he’s fukking with Jalen tbh. The more I see cats like Donavan Mitchell eat, the more convinced I am that Jalen is gonna be a top 10 player in the NBA sooner than later. Plus, I think what Jalen did against G leaguers is more impressive than what any other these guys did against college players
