Top 11 Ceilings

I think Cades work ethic is fine, but his IQ and charisma are lackluster. He’s got sort of a dud personality a la Wiggins.

i keep seeing you bringing this up. What's the negative indicator there for you?

I'm not the guy you asked, but I feel like there were a lot of games where Cade was content to coast for the first 30 or 35 minutes, then try to take over at the end (with mixed results). Looking back at their schedule, it's actually crazy that their only blowout wins all season were against absolutely terrible teams: Texas Southern, K State, and Iowa State. Their only other double-digit win was against Oakland, which was very close until the final minutes. He's not a guy that comes out of the gate swinging...he takes some time to settle in and find a rhythm.

I don't want to read too much into this and say that he's lazy or anything, but obviously it got him in trouble from time to time. He let an inferior Oregon State team go on a huuuuuge 36-13 run in the first half, and that was ultimately too big of a hole to dig out of.

His Instagram account and interviews he’s given. I’ve done a deep dive on his personality traits.

no, im asking what effect does this have on his ability to play basketball at the NBA level? i understand you don't like his personality, im trying to understand how that lowers him as a prospect in your eyes.

I question the type of leader he can become. Would you want a guy with Andrew Wiggins personality rallying the troops in a high pressure situation?

not seeing Wiggins in his personality. Plenty passion, encouraging to teammates, didn't see any leadership issues from Cade on court so that's not a concern i would have. but i do appreciate you giving clarity on the statement.

Yea maybe not an exact match with Wiggins, he just seems kind of dim if you catch my drift. Never really has anything interesting to say.
