Cade is the best prosody and had the best tools to build upon. He can shoot, he can post, good midrange, good passer, and plays defense. You can’t pass on that.

I like Jalen Green, but he isn’t Michael Jordan/Kobe, he’ll be a good scorer on a bad team for years because he isn’t giving you anything else. The Mobley kid a problem tho.

Dont know anything about the kid

What are his strengths that would translate to the NBA game? Handle, footwork, speed, strength, free throw shooting, movement?

He's a jack of all trades guy. Does a little bit of everything really well, no real weaknesses in his game other than the fact that he's average athletically and his defense comes and goes.

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

This, I like both but not on board with Cade being "more" league ready than Green.

I don’t think if you put Jalen Green on Oklahoma St he puts up the stats Cade did and takes them to the tourney :yeshrug:

That g league shyt just guys scrimmaging, sure their pros but they wasn’t out there competing hard or anything

Cade will flourish with more floor spacing

But I like green so I digress. Both will be good but in today’s nba a guy who can pretty much just score isn’t more valuable than a guy who can score, pass, play D

The coli is obsessed with explosiveness. That shyt ain’t everything. Most of these posts are like “he’s solid at everything offensively but the that lack of explosiveness :scust:

But Jalen green and his explosiveness :noah:“

The pistons just need talent at this point. Cade is a great building block for the future. Cade running the offense, Bey at the wing. Put some more shooting around them and maybe they can finally be something :ehh:

I agree/that's a good point, but Green has a toolbox too, plus those dudes in the G League are hungry trying to get a spot on a roster, grown men at that.

Im fine with either pick lowkey, it's just that the #1 pick deal is a bit stressful. There can't be any repeats of the 03 draft. We missed out on Melo, Bosh and Wade :why:
