Cade has great court vision

Gotta improve the assists to turnover ratio.

Last time Raptors got the 4th pick

I'm definitely kinda bummed. Feel like OKC was gonna take Scottie Barnes anyway though because he's long, athletic, versatile and can't shoot lol.

Davion Mitchell at #7.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Draftexpress claims Cade is a better passer than he's shown, and the lack of spacing, and terrible system at OK state limited him.



but I watch the fiba highlight pass, and I see good passes, solid passes, but nothing elite.

He reminds me of Gordon Hayward mixed with Paul George.

 

[HOU$TON]

Green's bag x Porter's bag... sheesh

Still think they'll need a point guard directing things though

KPJ is the point guard. Wall has to go

Cleveland needs to be banned from the lotto for like 5 years

So you’re saying a blend of White Paul George and Black Gordon Hayward?

He really a point? Didn't watch whole Rocket games just highlights mostly

Whoever made the original PG comp, when I seent it I couldn't unseent it from that point on

Plays with the same type of pace and movement

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Pre ankle injury Gordon Hayward was a better vertical athlete than Paul George tbh.

Cade is like Paul Georges game in Gordon Hayward's body imo.

 

[Flamboyant_Luv23]

also 7th for light years isn’t the greatest

last time they pick 7th it turned out to be

Don't think he's a Paul George level scorer or defender

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Embrace cross racial draft comparisons.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Don't think he's a Paul George level scorer or defender

I think he could be a 20+ for years but this is why I specified "point guard version of Paul George"

They play different roles but Cade has the skills and tools to be a bucket

At the same age Cade is def ahead of PG scoring wise as well

Don’t know how you can pick a big there in today’s NBA. Green/Suggs should be there pick.

Green’s situation kind of reminds me of Luka. Year before the draft, consensus #1 but then as the year went on, not so much exposure and dropped off a bit as other players got more exposure.

anyways, recent history just isn’t on the side of drafting a big (Ayton, Bagley, etc) plus the Rockets need help everywhere - best player available regardless of position.

Ayton has been great this postseason. Not close to in the same class as Bagley as a player.

Mobley projects to defend though in addition to his intriguing offensive bag. Plus have you been watching the Suns this Playoff?

Of course. I hope nobody thought otherwise lol.
