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.
Surrounded by Grant or Bogey, you saw what Cade could do with a something that resembled an NBA team around him.
Nobody comes into the league a finished product, and right now our FO is doing him a massive disservice by forcing him to be used how he is and as much as he is on this team this year.
He can’t play his game, (which is a bit slower and methodical with this roster). It’s tough to lull players asleep until he can get to his spots when there’s 4-5 players going after him whenever he touches the ball and zero consistent outlets to pass out to.
