It doesn't have to be a dead eye spot up shooter who sits at the 3 point line and waits for Cade to drive, get surrounded, then kick it back out. Like you said, if defenses are collapsing to Cade on one side he just kicks it to Ivey on the other side, and Ivey then carves up a scrambling defense. Cade just needs another guard who can score. Defenses start respecting Ivey and that gives Cade better opportunities to score. Defenses respecting Cade gives Ivey better opportunities to score.
Isn't that scrambling defense already going to be filling the lane? I guess I haven't seen many slash, kick, and re-slash offenses, but maybe it's possible?
