His inability to attack the rim is just as bad as his shooting ability. It’s year 4 and you can’t beat anyone off the dribble and attempt a floater?

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.
