    Cade had about 8 points in the first quarter. I don’t think he’s scored since.

    Harden approaching a quadruple double in that same game.

    Kelly and Cade both played well against the Nets. Game came down to the wire, a close loss. LeMarcus was also super hot for the Nets.

    If CC keeps shooting 90+% from the line it's pretty much certain that his FG% will end up being good too as the sample size increases.

    2.8 AST / 3.3 TO ratio is bad though

    A lot of it looks like just him not adjusting to the speed/talent at the NBA level just yet. He's making the right reads on most of his passes; he's just not processing that the guy in front of him is faster/quicker/smarter than what he was in college. I think he'll be fine.

    He isn’t a quick player and once he realizes that, he’ll adjust like Paul Pierce did.

    Always hated Paul Pierce

    Yeah but did he get a meaningless dunk in the vicinity of another player, and yell in that players face, then stink it up for the rest of the game and lose?

    If he didn't who the F cares - THAT is the definition of superstar.

    I see him as a billups type guy, if he’s running point on a good team the other teams is screwed.

    If the play breaks down give him the ball he can hit the three, take pretty much anyone off the dribble, and can defend at a high level.

    I think Cade will be a superstar. But who cares?

    The real question is who will have a better career: KPJ or Killian Hayes?

    17, 6, and 5 to go along with 2 steals and a block on 44/35/88 shooting splits in his last 6 games

    He good. As advertised.

    rockets … definitely seem to have gotten the worst top 4 pick so far. Plus other picks also better at the moment.

    He might not score as much as Green but dude can defend like a vet.

    The thing is he can impact the game in so many other ways…as oppose to JG who if his shot isn’t falling which it hasn’t been then he really doesn’t offer anything else.
