RandyMarsh Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 Cade's made some plays on offense but still just too many bad turnovers. Quote
buddha Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 atrocious defense. holland looks very much like a rookie who cant shoot. a less athletic ausar thompson. i cant see how those two ever play on the court together. cade gets frustrated cause the officials still wont give him any respect. 1 Quote
Deleterious Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 Thompson is light years ahead of Holland on defense. Holland is OK on ball but extremely poor off ball. Thompson is great on ball and possibly even better off. Insanely disruptive with his long reach, constantly in passing lanes, and has a pretty good BBIQ. You can play Thompson even with the poor shooting. You can't do that with Holland. Quote
Hart Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 (edited) I didn't watch the game but it's been the same story for a few years now. Cade is a wonderfully gifted scorer and a good passer but this team will continue to suck until they get a real point guard. If they find the right guy, it will help the offense AND defense.

Deleterious Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 Cade averaged 3.7 TO's in his first year and 3.4 last year. Those are acceptable numbers. 9 in a game is obviously not acceptable, but judging off of a few games here and there seems silly. Melo has made the ASG as a PG and he had 10 TO's last night. He averages 3.3 for his career, which is right there with Cade at 3.5. We have transitioned to much bigger ball handlers in the past decade and with that will bring more TO's. Better coaching could help Cade a bit with the TO's. For the love of god why are they putting Stewart in PnR situations? He isn't a leaper, he isn't explosive, he doesn't have good hands. All things you need to be the roll man. To his credit, Stewart knows that and is one of the reasons he worked on his shooting. Apparently our coaching staff hasn't learned about the Pick and Pop, which Stewart would be much better at. Quote
buddha Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 by the time jalen duren reaches his peak (andre drummond who can shoot free throws), he'll be extremely overpaid or on another team. or both. Quote
