Scottie Barnes and Jalen Suggs have made considerable improvements in their games this season. Evan Mobley has been consistently good since day 1. Even Jalen Green has seemingly turned the corner after a rough start to the season. And all of them are doing it on pretty decent teams. Meanwhile Cade is looking like he regressed from his rookie season, playing on the worst team in the league. Is he the worst of the bunch right now?
None of these guys are asked to carry their team. You switch out Cade for any of these guys and nothing would change. They way y’all talk about him youd think he was averaging 11/3/3 or something lol. Starting 5 is utterly trash, he’s 22 being asked to lead a bunch of 20 year olds, none of which can shoot.
Probably better examined in a year or two when the Pistons have more balanced roster instead of BPA draft picks
Pistons are bad at development. If Cade was drafted by any other team in the top 5 he’ be an all star right now.
To be fair, his team really sucks.
Remember when we said “Fade for Cade” for an entire season?
