He has 1 game where he shot exactly 50%. That was a 26 point effort on 12/24 shooting against the Suns. He also has only 1 game above 60% TS and that was a few nights ago against Denver where he put up 27/9. He shot 11/11 from the line that game
The last time he had a game where he shot over 50% from the field was on October 28th 2022. The time before that was March 2022 in his rookie season

all reasonable points. yeah Pistons are in a tough spot because draft chips didn’t fall our way. Cade for all intents and purposes the last two years has been our #1
like this team is definitely screwed if Cades offensive ceiling is Kemba (and super screwed if it’s Jrue or Lonzo). I know that’s not what you are arguing, just flagging it.
In terms of 3p% i have faith that Cades can rise to league average even while being the #1, he just needs to share more ball handling duties. Even Luka has poor stretches shooting the 3 when they all have to be self created
Foul drawing is weird I also think he’ll figure it out but the signs are not promising right now minus one or two games.
Like I genuinely think Cade can get to 56%+ TS as the number one option next season. I don’t think that’s like some amazing team but could be a 35+ win team with him as the fulcrum. It just feels shitty because fans thought that leap would be this year, and even though not much of our failure and losing streak is Cades fault, he’s definitely not helping us elevate out of it
