    Cade: Could be Tyreke Evans, Denzel Valentine and or washington, evan turner with a shot. Could be luka, strong tall playmaker, great handles, great shotmaking ability off the dribble and off balance. Luka's eurostats arent like in the nba bcc like in college they play zone and the court is less open.

    Greens: I could see some beal, I could also see malik monk, maybe even JR Smith, maybe rashad mccants, young ray allen, buddy hield

    I have not seen the T-Mac comp.

    McGrady had freakish size and length.

    Mine as well, same as Denzel Valentine...not giving too much on the court, but washington would nail stare downs and taunts

    Tatum is a proven. If Cade can get to a 80% Tatum, it'll be considered a success.

    He could also surpass, but who the heck knows.

    Tatum with better playmaking is a better comp for Cade than Luka

    since people are so worried about Cade because he isn’t an athletic phenom, neither is Tatum

    Tatum does not get to the line or into the paint all that often for as much as he scores...he averaged a career high 5 fta per game this year while scoring 26 ppg

    they both have similar builds...long, skinny, wiry frames

    Tatum is 6’8 with a 6’11 wingspan, and Cade is 6’8 with a 7’1 wingspan

    Been thinking about this for awhile but that’s exactly his comp IMO.

    Cade is a playmaking Tatum

    May the basketball Gods smile upon us and Adam silver too because we did him a solid by trading harden to Brooklyn.

    I think I like Cade around as much as I liked Fultz in his draft. That's not to say I think he'll bust because I really liked Fultz before his weird shoulder stuff. I think he's guaranteed good, at least around borderline Allstar level like Morant maybe with potential to be around Dame level. He's not a surefire MVP candidate level prospect like Luka was even the year before his draft. The next guy at that level is Emoni Bates.

    Ok I’ll help you out.

    Cade - .170 WS/40, 4.7 OBPM, 3.1 DBPM, 7.8 BPM, 57% TS

    Suggs - .210 WS/40, 4.8 OBPM, 4.6 DBPM, 9.4 BPM, 59.5% TS

    Let me guess, but but but, these stats only matter when they fit your narrative? Ya thought so.

    I'm with BimaThug on his assessment. Cade and Jared Butler would be
    two good catches.

    Jared Butler gives us a younger taller better version of Augustin; heir apparent to John Wall.
    Allows the Rockets to weed out the unnecessary point guard roster clutter.

    I see Cade Cunningham playing more of the 3 spot. I don't see the Rockets sitting
    down Wall or Porter in order to fit Cade. I see Kenyon Martin Jr as the odd man out
    and coming off the bench.

    Starting Lineup looking like this: Wall / Porter / Cunningham / Wood / Center
