First of all, he coasts a lot, plays at a very slow pace and doesn't look like he has the speed or burst even when he tries to push tempo. Second, he isn't really a perimeter player. He is very mid range and low post oriented. I'm starting to see a lot of Shaun Livingston in his game. Now, can he still have success in the league and become a star? Yeah absolutely, but I'm not sure how he'd fit on the Knicks honestly. I see Cade and RJ being almost redundant.
Cade is going to have to play on a team that has quality shooters and floor spacers around him so he can operate in his comfort zones. There might be more perimeter skill in his game than he's shown so far but right now I'm starting to question his fit with the guys we have.
The college game is mucked up in the middle. Nowhere near as open as the NBA game. I think he'll look even better as a pro, no matter what team he ends up on (even ours). He can do everything at a good level and has a great feel for the game, as well as other intangibles. And his length on defense is gonna present problems if he stays at the 1.
