Yeah, the athleticism thing has been highly overstated. He pushes the pace and doesn't seem to have any problem getting space to get a good shot off. He ain't gonna be blowing by nikkas or just drinking on muthafukkas, but everything I've seen shows that his game can be highly effective. And with no real training camp or preseason to get reps in, you can see him getting more comfortable with each game. nikka ain't scared of the moment or deterred by an off shooting night. He got supreme confidence in his abilities, and that's the shyt I love, especially because he's not playing a bonehead style of basketball. Him going at KD and getting the shots he wanted against his length was a great sign.
Looking at this he only had about 3 or 4 bad plays the whole night. A ton of good plays and good decisions with shots that I expect he'll make on a regular basis as he continues to get more comfortable as he gets used to the speed and his teammates.
Edit: This nikka Blaha must really love the alliteration in Cade's name. He says his full name damn near every time
