I’m not giving any excuses, I’ve been really disappointed with cades play. I don’t know what is up with him, his rookie year he’s looked better, this year he just looks even slower and plays very lazy defense with lazy passes thrown he looks not engaged in some of these games. Today was some of the worse defense I’ve ever seen him play and it was pathetic. Granted so did everyone else but still, not what I expect out of him
If this team wasn’t as bad as it is right now if the team signed players that didn’t Brick every 3 like today though, im sure fans would be more patient with him. But im just so sick of it, he has a lot going against him right now. Shit roster, year off from playing, Mont forced the ball in his hands and played hayes with him, and he’s still young, but im just so sick of it. I really don’t know what’s off with his play, because I know he ain’t this bad, his rookie year he flashed a lot of leadership qualities, but now he just looks dejected at every level.
And for the idiots saying trade cade or he was the wrong pick, every good player in that 2021 class has had some long, tough stretches or still has major flaws in their game.
He simply can’t shoot. If his shot remains broken he will never be an elite player. We wanted Luka like player but he’s looking more like Evan Turner with a green light
He’s a below avg nba athlete. So craft only gets him so far. He doesn’t draw fouls. Doesn’t finish at rim at good clip. And his strength at the mid range has been so so this year
And his defensive effort has just not been there. He was a better defender as a rookie than he is now. Big regression
See nothing from him that screams #1 pick. Watch Zion, Wemby, Banchero and you see those flashes of superstardom. Haven’t seen it with Cade since a fee games his rookie season
Nah I’ve seen as much flashes from Cade as I’ve seen Banchero. Zion, Wemby, sure - but definitely not banchero. Guy also shoots bricks.
Yea his athleticism isn’t going to change he will always be that crafty player so if he wants to be a number one in this.leaguenhenis going to have to develop a deadly shot. It is not happening. Flat out. We need to start putting some of the other players in the one position and take some of the pressure off of him or we will ruin him imo
