Playing like what? 22/7/4 on 45/35 splits? Those are all big improvements from his rookie year. The shooting is up +3/+4, and frankly, he's shown he can do much better than that. If he continues to make improvement, there is no doubt he's a max player. I have no doubt that a 27 yr old cade is going to be a heck of a player as long as he stays healthy though. But sure, you are still paying on potential at 22. That just what happens with the current salary structure of rookie deals + extensions.
