Cade may be having a rough shooting night but the kid just makes plays.

Cade took over this fourth quarter!

he is not a homerun unless he is top 2 and we know cade and mobley are guaranteed to be better. he was already drafted number 4 not some mid lotto so people are already expecting 1st rookie, all star. making couple of all stars is merely meeting expectations nothing impressive. his height 6'7 is what bothers me the most need to be 2 inches taller.

to me, barnes was rather a much safe high floor pick masai didnt want to gamble busts with wagner and kuminga.

Bro, this is one of the most stacked draft classes in a long time, the **** you mean he’s not a home run?

So glad people that called Cade a bust after a few bad games look stupid now.

19/5/5 on 6-11fg in the 2nd half in a big comeback. These games are a lot more fun/meaningful when they result in wins even though I want to tank

Cade plays poorly: crickets

Cade plays decently: THE ABSOLUTE MOST **** TALK

Fairly certain the poster you quoted is a legitimate troll. He said "curry always has been a horrible shooter." in another thread recently.

All three of the Cavs/Raps/Pistons should be psyched as hell about their rookies. This could end up being one of the best drafts ever.

Sorry that him playing well triggers you so much.

Franz with some clutch buckets down the stretch. Suggs with the defense.

Yeah that’s kinda how it works for rookies who are barely 20. You’re gonna get some props when you have a 19/10/10 night while leading a major upset.

Is a triple double and a slew of clutch daggers by a rookie just decent?

JackTalkThai · Post #276 » by **JackTalkThai** » Mon Jan 31, 2022 2:50 am

Cunningham is the 12th player in NBA history with at least two triple-doubles through 40 career games.

Cade’s shot selection is not where it should be yet. He’s a dude that’s used to getting any shot he wants. And he mostly still can, but they’re more heavily contested now. He’ll learn.

Serious question, tho:

Does anyone legit think he WON’T average at least 20/6/6 next year on at least league average efficiency? You can see him improving every month, and it’s not like he’s relying on one or two moves to drive his game. Kid’s a star.

Post #278 » by **Dadouv47** » Mon Jan 31, 2022 3:33 am

Don't care about who is better than who right now. Just know that this draft class is *****ing amazing from 1 to 8 (even if some are better than others) and it's a lot of fun to watch those rookies play.

He's doing this with no big man whatsoever to play off of. I like Stewart and all but he's a mini big man with average athleticism.
Get him a real big man with length and athleticism and those numbers will significantly improve as should his efficiency because he'll get more open looks.

Dutchball97 · Post #280 » by **Dutchball97** » Mon Jan 31, 2022 9:00 am

Cade looks promising but I don't have him in my top 3 for the ROY race. Over the whole season Wagner and Barnes have been more impressive and Mobley is likely to be the runaway winner.

Which three rookies impress you the most? (vote for up to 3)
