Imho Cade doesn’t have the speed, the athleticism or the endurance to be a primary ball handler in this league. He should model his game after a Brandon Roy type rather than Luka. Let him play more off ball at the 2, he doesn’t need to take the ball up. This also allows him to play at his pace and do what he does best, while maintaining his stamina.
100% agree with you. European school of basketball is different, these dudes have been drilling fundamentals and playing scrimmages against grown ass men since they were toddlers.
For some reason I have the feeling that the FO thinks since they drafted him first they have to turn him into some archetypical primary ball handler/Luka type. They’re fucking up his development because to them a number one lottery player can’t be an off ball player.
I mention Roy because he also had an unstoppable midrange shot with a high ass release. I think drawing contact will come with time, but I really wish Cade would get more efficient from the midrange this season.
