Cade is great!
He has 13 over 50 FG% games out of 64 games in his Rookie season
He is great!
He stinks
He’s not the guy. Maybe he’ll have a wiggins like career arc and be a great third option somewhere
I understand having criticism for Cade. However, the guy has played 30 games of NBA basketball in the last year and a half. He is less than 100 games into his career.
Most importantly, he shoots 89% from the line at over 4 attempts a game, which is one of the biggest indicators of future shooting success.
Everyone screaming from the mountaintops that he is a bust is jumping the gun to a critical point. You are going to speak it into existence at this point with how toxic social media is these days, and Cade will be asking for an out in the near future if the fanbase doesn’t give him a break.
Criticism is fine. Condemning him is not. There’s a fine line, and if you care about this franchise stop trying to drive him out of town before we even figure out his true potential.
I get it sucks losing but it would suck even more losing a star player because the fanbase they were drafted to never stopped whining about how dog shit at basketball they are before they even had a season and a half under their belt. Imagine how much more of a laughingstock this franchise would be moving on from Cade only for him to blossom on another team; that would be the franchise’s true rock bottom.
Nobody is speaking anything into existence. If cade figures it out it will be on his Merritt alone same if he fails. Criticism is part of the NBA and if he can’t handle it it was never gonna work out anyway.
The fact is cade can’t shoot. We are a season and a half into this and the one skill he needed to improve to get to his supposed ceiling is regressing.
The whole sophomore slump thing is bullshit. For every sophomore slump there are 20 players that just fizzle out. The odds are not in favor of a player turning it around.
Let’s hope for the best but it’s silly to criticize fans for being frustrated at shit performances night in and night out.
To add, Ivey already has 10 games this year of .500 and over, and 7 games over .500 shooting. For the trade Ivey, keep Cade camp.
I’ve never seen a fan base absolutely hate their young star guard 😂
Imagine laker fans calling to trade Kobe after that Utah playoff game. Ooff.
Y’all need to calm down. All indications were that Cade was killing team USA when he was surrounded by actual talent.
I’d be more concerned if Cade was out there being passive.
