Cade's scoring is on a huge upswing. Turnover is still a huge issue.
A game with 7 turnover is not efficient. A single turnover basically results in a net ~2.12 pt swing on average (~1.06 point on offense based on league average 106 offensive efficiency, 1.06 the other way on average). It is the single most costly mistake in basketball.
My official position is still that Cade is not a point forward, just a scoring shooting guard. Same positions since pre-draft.
Guy who more or less Cade a bust like 10 games in maybe realizing you can't assess how good a player will be after a few weeks, shocker. The term efficiency in basketball is jargon for how well a player utilizes their shot opportunities to score, i.e. shooting splits and TS%. It has nothing to do with turnovers. Simultaneously, in the colloquial sense of the word efficient, a turnover is not efficient way to use a possession.
You think he is just a scoring guard because you put too much emphasis on turnovers in assessing a rookie's ability as a ball handler/playmaker and don't actually watch him play. Cade has been our primary ball handler and playmaker for a while now. The playmaking ability, handle, ability to break down the defense off the dribble, court vision ect... is there. Turnovers are a huge issue for him right now but he's a rookie learning the ropes. He's got plenty of time to tighten up his handle and address that weakness.
Try reading a bit more next time. Take off the blinders and read my full argument. I never insinuated that Cade was a bust after 10 games. I have always insinuated (here and NBA-draft forum pre-draft) that Mobley was the best player this year with Cade being the #4 behind Mobley, Barnes and Suggs (wrong on #3 so far).
I have challenged the notation that Cade is a point forward ala Luka. He was marketed by the media as a generational point forward will one be a drop in on day and and elevate a team to the forefront of offensive efficiency day one. This has and will always be an laughable assertion. I'll give you a refresher, the gist of the argument is that if Cade isn't a point forward, he isn't a #1 pick, deserving #3-6 pick, sure.
Lol so obsessed. What did he do to you buddy
