The last 15 seconds of this one were crazy. Foul on a 3, loose ball foul on a FT rebound, offensive rebound of a missed FT and 2 missed Toronto FTs. Bucks had a real chance to come back from 5 but missed 2 free throws and Connaughton missed an open corner three that would have won it.
He’s never gained much size during his career and that shows in his still-quick first step. He has that durable wiry body that ages well like a Reggie Miller, Jamal Crawford, etc. You can tell he works hard on his body and on conditioning so yeah he probably has at least 2-3 elite years then a bunch more if he can land in more of a supportive role.
He had a similar week around the middle of November. He’s so much fun to watch…..once the game slows down for him he’ll be one of the highest BBIQ players in the league.
He has limitations in his game, but he has become a really valuable player for GS.
Yeah. He also has that body, having just turned 19 in October. Crazy-high ceiling if he can iron out the shot and absorb the defensive mentorship of Draymond and Andre...
Cade's passing reminds me a lot of Lonzo's passing. It's not necessarily racking up a ton of assists; it's just that quick reaction and understanding of where the ball needs to go, and a lot of it ends up being hockey assists (or missed shots because his team is bad). It's getting a rebound and running in transition, and understanding how to exploit a defense that might be slow getting back.
Cade is a good to great shooter. I’m not concerned about an early career small sample with his mechanics, release and soft rotation. He shot 90% from the line and 40% from 3 as a college freshman which are historical shooting numbers for a first year high volume player at that level. An entire season is a small sample of shots and people freak out about these numbers. His problem is going to be in that Pistons team not being a complete cluster around him which is a possibility.
You don't believe in the Cade/Hayes backcourt????
Luka makes 2020 Grant look svelte
The Jazz are teasing us again with another regular season in which they look all but invincible.
Yes, but would Ime actually be playing Mathews, or would Mathews be stapled to the end of the bench?
agreed. Missing on Strus is kind of excusable since Greene was probably a better fit and MS didn't start hitting NBA 3s until this season. GM had already proven he could at the NBA level coming into the season and he's a better defender than Max.
If Omicron spreads here as it has in South Africa and it's looking like it will in Europe (and I don't see a reason why it wouldn't), the next month or two are going to be a COVID positive nightmare for the NBA (and NFL).
