That’s probably the worst thing about Duren being out and Cade being saddled to Killian. Duren is so dangerous rolling to the basket and on the offensive glass that it opens up Cades Middy. So not only does he lose that open space between his defender and the shot blocker but Killian can’t pressure the rim at all.

So Cade has to shoot a 3, take a contested two, dump it to Bagley (who is earning his contract) get Stew a 3, or roll the dice with Ausar or Killian. There is no way for him to drive without a dangerous offensive player (Burks Ivey Bogey Sasser or possibly even Knox) or two to space the defense since Duren’s not there to take pressure off Cade.

sure but like it’s also the sub 50% true shooting, let’s not get it too twisted …. he could be fucking duncan robinson and never get to the rim and we would be way happier with his offensive production
