When you don’t watch someone actually play, of course they will be empty stats. Michael Jordan incarnate could be on the Pistons putting up 20-8-8 and people like you would be like…EMPTY STATS YO.

Give this guy over here the award cuz he’s putting up lesser numbers on a better team. It’s analytical gibberish.

What's really impressive about this is.

#1 Pistons haven't been getting rolled... They've been close to an average NBA team this month.

#2 Cade is just a 20 year old rookie, where tons of other rookies came in after 3 or 4 years of college.


Not to say that other rookies haven't had better months, Grant Hill (who played four years of college) has a better April his rookie year, just more PPG and RPG but not as many assists.

Still, I think its a good sign that Cade might be a triple double machine in the future once he figures everything out.


Nah, this is the impressive part of what he is doing. Imagine if the zebras had any respect for him.

4384 rookies in the History of the NBA

Only 10 have averaged 17/5/5

Oscar did it shooting 11.1 FT PG
MJ did it shooting 9.1 FT PG
Luka did it shooting 6.7 FT PG
Magic did it shooting 6.0 FT PG
LeBron did it shooting 5.8 FT PG
Cade doing it shooting 2.5 FT PG



why not post fg %...nevermind ...lol..we all know why...there is reason they got fouled

I don’t see how anyone that has been watching Green in the 2nd half of the season can make this statement. Especially in an era where efficiency is heavily focused on.


Well given the self creation and passing gap, I think its fairly easy to see why he put Cade 1A. And truthfully, a few others have arguments over Green for 1b (Giddey, Barnes, Wagner).
different roles. Cade plays with the ball in his hands. Green is playing as an off guard. Unfortunately Green has not gotten as many chances to be the playmaker. As far as compared to other guys, I think it’s obvious that Green has a much higher scoring upside than those guys based on his athletic profile. Once his skills catch up to his athleticism, it’s a wrap.

...but cade's not putting up better numbers than Barnes. Unless effeciency doesnt matter. He's scoring better...taking 3.5 more shots to score 1.5 more points, is assisting more...2 more assists for 1.7 more turnovers, doesnt defend as well and impact stats dont do him any favors here. There's nothing to suggest he has better numbers

Im ok with Mobley over Barnes because of his ridiculous play earlier in the year, but Cade over Barnes would be a robbery. Barnes has better box score numbers, better impact stats and is better defensively. I dont really see an argument for Cade for ROY unless you completely disregard all his struggles

More goes into scoring than running fast and jumping high. Also, simply having the ball in his hands more won't make Green an above average passer.

If you are voting based on PPG, RPG, APG, BPG, and SPG then Cade's numbers look the best of all rookies. I don't think that's debatable. Cade for sure wins ROY if its 15 or 20 years ago. But I think as time has gone on voters have gotten smarter when looking at overall impact.

Once you look further into efficiency, advanced metrics, and care about team wins.... Cade doesn't stand a chance.

Cade winning the roy would be a disgrace. I mean, he doesn't have to share the ball... He's the man. Barnes playing with 2 all stars together, on a playoffs contending team, and still put up those numbers all season long. Cade couldn't do anything in the beginning.

Raptors were already a playoff team who had a down year and jumped up in the lottery. Why could Cade not put up these numbers with better players? I mean how mamy more shots does Siakam put up then Grant? Its not like theres not other guys putting up shots they just arent as impactful as players.

Did Raptor fans literally not watch Cade when you played him. Pretty sure he was the best player on the court in those games that resulted in wins.

Cade was top 10 this season in double teams faced. Its part of the reason for the higher TOs and the lower FG% for sure. Having players like Siakam, FVV< and GTJr around him almost certainly would have made things easier on him this season and lowered his TOs as well as increased his FG%..... he rarely has anyone who sets him up for easy baskets he is the guy being thrown into the fire and its going to pay off in the long run for his player development but in the short term its why he hasn't been as efficient and why he's strugged with TOs.

I mean putting up big volume raw stats on a worse team on higher usage is not necessarily better or worse.

It means your team sucks and you are a very talented player. In reverse your team is good and you are a very talented player if you put up less stats on less usage.

It wouldn't be a disgrace at all if Cade wins. He has been playing great ball.

Ya i cant get behind the "empty stats" line being talked about here. I was just saying that Cade's numbers arent better than Barnes, and whether youre basing it on numbers or impact analytics, Barnes comes out ahead.

I don't know about disgrace but I don't think he is more deserving than Mobley or Barnes. Lots of hyperbole the last 2 pages. Ultimately scoring efficiency is what will keep Cade from winning it, but he did get off to a terrible start and rookies tend to struggle with efficiency. I'm confident he'll clean things up as his career progresses. He'd still be my #1 pick in a re-draft and that's good enough for me.

No clue how someone can call Cade an "empty stats" guy. What an embarrassing thing to say.

Give me Barnes. I think he's gonna be better than Mobley career wise too

Numbers an impact are there. If we finish 5th or 6th and he maintains his current pace I don't see how Mobley takes this especially with recency bias. Detroit would have to go on a 10 game winning streak with Cade going crazy for him to win the award at this point.

Pistons need to sucker someone into taking Killian Hayes before he exits the Dante Exum stage where people still believe in him even though he hasn't actually done anything. Cade needs the keys and Grant gone too

Before the narrative was Mobley was doing this on a playoff team despite Barnes having the better numbers.

Now Barnes team leap frogged Mobley, while beating him a couple days ago, while taking their playoff spot, and knocking them into the play in.

Hmmmm
