This backs up a lot of what I'm seeing with Cade.
Dean is an analytics guru who questions Cade's Efficiency, Passing IQ, Shot Selection, and Motor/Effort. Just too many warts for a so called clear cut #1.
Dean Demarkis self proclaimed anaylytics guru this is hilarious. Deans background is coming from the 2+2 poker forums sports sub forum where there is a NBA thread. Harlabob used to post there many years ago. I've seen alot of Deans posts over the years way before he started a sports blog. He was a pro poker player who moved into sportsbetting.
Deans whole thing on his blog and twitter is to make against the grain takes to get views. For example last season 1. Onyeka Okongwu. I'd be careful with using him as your guy he doesnt watch prospects in person or travel to see them. Hes entertaining but much better draft sources with NBA connections to follow for draft stuff like Givony and Hollinger. Dean has some good takes and bad takes I read his work but I wouldnt go quote it as gospel to back up my points.
He was slowing down on his draft work. He was on talking about going into the "pick up women" sector not that long ago for his side projects. Recently hes been picking up again but hes not all that active outside of draft time.
You spent your whole post attacking Dean, but he actually makes a number of irrefutable points about Cade's warts that are backed with actual data.
