Absolutely brutal stretch for Cade in the 4th, basically lost them the game. Very good learning lessons for the rook, he'll learn from this and make him a better player for it.

You knew the shot would come around eventually, too, because that was clearly his biggest strength in college. Imo he doesn’t have the size or the first step to be a true number one offensive creator (at least ideally) and superstar but I think he can be a secondary playmaker and 20+ point scorer in time, which would most likely be All-Star level. People who labeled him a bust after a rough start are gonna look dumb.


this is the correct call. i thought cade was kd esque but hes more of a midget and falls in love with jumpers hes a middleton type.
hes not a superstar nor all nba level i dont think you can include him in the core should be dealt for giannis archetype.
irony is detroit let go of number 1 pick worth for free not sure how much cade is better.
Let this be a lesson for all posters, current, and future. Never make proclamations like this, this early in a rookies career.(11 games)

It's just going to be used for future fodder, and as they say;

Patience is a virtue.

You want to go educate yourself on how a triple double works? Go check the game as to when Cade already ten points and how many shots

I wouldn't have expected Scottie to come in better on offense than he is on defense. He's got work to do on that end.

I actually don't care about Cade's bad shooting nights.

This is Cade's best game of his career in terms of making plays.

Another 20 games games like this, my bust narrative is basically gone.

I'd rather have 13 pts, 12 rebs 11 asts on 28.6% fg in a close loss than 10 pts, 13 rebounds, 5 asts on 27.3%fg in a blowout loss. Guess we shouldn't judge rookies on shooting percentages alone.

His shooting is not stellar, but none of the rookies are shooting well. They will all have to learn their spots and work on it.

Last 5 Games:
Cade- 16.6 pts 7.4 rebs 6.8 asts 2.0 stls 0.8 blks 39.5% fg 27.3% 3pt 87.5% ft in 35.2 mpg
Barnes- 10.2 pts 8.0 rebs 4.6 asts 0.8 stls 0.2 blks 35.2% fg 33.3% 3pt 64.7% ft in 34.8 mpg.
Green- 14.6 pts 3.2 rebs 1.8 asts 0.6 stls 0.0 blks 36.6% fg 28.6% 3pt 86.7 % ft in 32.0 mpg.

Yeah... the haters.

I dont think he was saying Cade was hunting points to get the TD.

He was literally saying "Cade got his triple double on awful shooting efficentcy".

I'm a gufe Cade fan. I've seen every minute of him as a pro except tonight and the SAC game. ( I'll watch those on my next night off).

Cade got a triple double (yeay! I lovemy boy Cade!!)

Cade had horrible shooting efficentcy. (he'll need to clean that up before he reaches superstar status that i expect him to reach)

Cade got a triple double, on horrible shooting splits is just fact.

I didn't read it asthe posted saying Cade was jackung shots to chase points, I dont think he intended it that way. I think you read it that way though.

I do suspect the guy is a Cade hared though, but he didn't say anything that was incorrect.

Yeah Cade getting the triple double is nice but its certainly tarnished by the bad shooting. It's more about the overall performance than the triple double itself. He was also sonned by AD in the final minutes when he's been clutch in other games. Again tarnished triple double but still nice and shows his potential.

To say he only got the triple double due to bad shooting is incorrect. Again... this isn't saying Cade scored 40 points on terrible shooting... We are talking about how he got a triple double, which is not about how many points u score.. He got his 10 points early than his assists and rebound. He also got his ten points before he jacked up more shots in the 3rd and 4th. To link the two together is NOT the same as saying some dude scored 40 points on 45 shots.
