Pulled a Cade top shot moment (good serial # too) from a $9 pack yesterday - lowest ask for it currently is a cool $325USD.

Need Cade to continue balling out... 8-)

Nice game for Cade filling up the stat sheet again. Seems he’s been doing better with limiting turnovers in the past couple games which is good to see

I saw the Pistons broadcast saying he was playing through pain at the end? Did anyone see what happened with him?

Something happened with his foot or his shoe. He was kind of moving funny for a stretch in the 3rd. After a while trying to play through it he went to the locker room and came back with different shoes on. Didn't notice much of a limp or anything afterward. Not sure what happened.

Cade with 21 pts 11 asts 7 rebs 2 stls and 1 blk in 36 minutes. He's averaging 21.5 pts 5.6 rebs 5.5 asts 1.9 stls 0.7 blks in December.

Ah okay so nothing serious it seems. Good to hear

I only caught the 1st part of the game but it didn't even look like a particularly good performance from him, timing seemed off. I hope he's not forced into like 4 years of miserable Pistons' teams, feels like the fun of watching him si seeing how he out-thinks and manipulates situations and that's going to be so much more interesting if he's playing good teams.

Sidenote: condolences to Pistons fans who have to watch a 2nd unit where of Luka Garza comprises 100% of the rim protection. That's brutal.

still a distant third in the ROY race because mobley and barnes exceeded expectations in the first ten games of the season.

I really needs to up his overall shooting numbers.

He's averaging the most points but he's also far and away taking the most shots.

If he can get his FG% to 45+, 3P% to 36+ and get to the line more he has a good chance for ROY.

Plenty of time.

he would probably run away with the award if he hits those percentages, given he would be well over 20-22ppg. Even someone like Luka had 42/32 splits, Lamelo 43/35. When a 20 yr old rookie is placed into a role with such a high usage and % of unassisted buckets its hard to have super elite efficiency, especially when they started off as poorly as Cade.

That being said, a lot of his poor shooting start probably had to with having no training camp and no preseason and then being thrown into a super high usage role. However he is absolutely trending in the right direction, 41/35 splits over his last 15 games, 44/42 splits over his last 10. He's likely going to fill up the stat sheet pretty significantly as long as Grant is out.

Is it correct to say that Cade, Kuminga and Barnes have the highest ceiling (in order)?

PhilBlackson · Post #99 » by **PhilBlackson** » Sun Dec 19, 2021 1:34 am

I know it gets annoying reading about Barnes all the time lol but damn he has made some RIDICULOUS passes this game that would NBA Top 10 quality lol but the dudes around him just let him down.

HumbleRen · Post #100 » by **HumbleRen** » Sun Dec 19, 2021 1:38 am

Kuminga's first step is insane, it legit leaves me breathless at times. Moody is interesting, I thought he would be the most NBA ready player coming into the draft but I guess I was wrong.

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