Nothing happened. Hes like grant hill on the 90s pistons. Great young talent on a terrible team with a horrible front office. Doing what he can with truly awful spacing 🤷
Don’t see anything different from this comment. But you can be sure that many teams are more interested in him than in a player like Trae Young. His style don’t get many highlights clicks despite being quite solid
@emsj86 he's shown flashes but he is dealing with historically bad spacing to be fair. His game is built around the pick and roll and the midrange. But the floor is so compressed and jammed because of bad spacing that it makes his life so much harder.
That whole losing streak could've and should've been avoided by starting Ivey. Dude was scoring like 50/40/80 before the bs started to weigh on the players.
@@J-Hue Those numbers are not accurate, and Ivey is a bad player, so I don't buy your theory that the win total and/or losing streak would have been meaningfully altered.
I might be slightly biased because we went to the same highschool for a couple years but I think he has the clear tools to really be something special in the league, and more people would probably see that if he was in just even a slightly better situation

The way people have disregarded Paolo since his rookie year is crazy to me. He has the potential to be one of the best players in the league. Idk how his hype has died down so fast bc he’s so good.
Ivey was great end of rookie year because he was able to play to his strengths, if he ran the bench or controlled the ball more when Cade was out we all would be seeing a very different Ivey
For Cade to succeed last year under those circumstances shows he’s got a bright future in the league. Dude has almost identical numbers as Paulo while facing way more defensive pressure and less team support.
The pistons have had bad 3 point shooters which means teams pack the paint against them so cades numbers in the mid range and paint are really good for being double or triple teamed every time he goes there. I imagine with better spacing teams will have to respect the perimeter more and it will open up the floor for him.
ya cade definitely has a very methodical playstyle, he looks like hes always controlling the pace and not allowing himself to be sped up keeps the guy on his hip and changes speeds when he needs to especially when he gets into the paint area, hes also a big guard so he can jus kinda body up on smaller guards, detroit just needs more spacing around him, ive seen so many times where he drives to the paint and not a single opposing player are looking at anyone else on the 3pt line, he applies pressure but they dont have the spacing to really take advantage of that also im rly unsure about the ron holland pick, seems super similar to ausar thompson, high level defender wing but also not a good shooter at all tho hes at least hes a bit ahead of ausar in that aspect, just seems like another player that is probably gonna get ignored on the outside but i think cade is a franchise guy they just have to help him out more, i think they'll definitely better than last season, not the highest bar lol but i think JB will be good for them and have them playing the right way and instill a culture they've been missing the entire time they have been rebuilding
Cade's success needs shooters 10 missed wide open 3s a game two straight years this man could be getting 10 assists a game with his scoring he's a top player in the nba. Get the man shooters.

Marcel come to Europe, play anywhere, and be the happiest :) You could win Euroleague MVP, remember Sergio Rodriguez! ps: please tell Marcel :)
Also, Cade was dealing with that shin injury since he got drafted. It wasnt until he got the season ending surgery in year 2 that he was able to be his full self in year 3
I don't really watch nba games, but I like Cade. He is playing the cards he is dealt, constantly improving and doing his best in a suboptimal situation. I hope he has a long and successful carreer ahead of him
I'm reallly high on cade still. He's just in a piss poor situation, hell if we even saw him on teams like utah or the '23 nets, his situation would be much better. Additions like tobias harris and beasely would be insane. He's got the potential to be all league defense, and MVP fs.
None of the young guys did. Their team had too much talent. But their supposed #2 guy got benched for arguably the worst of in the league, despite scoring on 50/40/80 splits. Front office set the team back mismanaging the coaching situation.
There’s weaknesses in every young players game ant , Luka , Tatum , wemby , paolo etc Cade will be an all star this year and in strong consideration for all nba
Cade been injured and on what was a bad franchise under troy all which slowed down his development still got all star potential just need to tighten up handles get better at attacking the rim and finishing at rim better conditioning and defense too
Huge Purdue fan. However Ivey was not a good pick for Detroit. I think it ruined both the careers of Cade and Jaden Ivey. Two ball dominant guards hardly ever work.
that might be true cuz I think it takes a lot out of him guarding these small guards. They need a legit pass first point guard tho, which they dont have
Cade is a consistent player his numbers are the same as they were in college. He plays in my city he's a big deal here the problem is, nobody watches the pistons. We are consistently in the lottery which means our team is filled with 1st round picks wit 0 nba experience..
The pistons keep drafting wings that can't shoot to pair with him; in Ivey, Ausar, and Holland. I also think he needs a big that can score in the mid range area, and would be nice if they were actually 7-foot too.
Cade has been the victim of an organization that has operated criminally with building rosters and scouting talent. If he ever gets the right pieces around him, he will easily be all star worthy. There’s not a better channel out there that breaks down players like this one. All with footage rolling the whole time.
Their talent drafting had been great. The team owner screwed the rebuild up, likely forcing out their coach Dwayne Casey, and overriding the GM to sign a coach who's now having locker room trouble at multiple stops and teams that underperform consistently due to personnel mismanagement. The team owner set the team back a ways.
Hall of Fame walking. Not worrying about Cade and Detroit Pistons. Cade Cunningham stats show he better than Anthony Edwards. NBA refuses to show Detroit Pistons games on regular channels. That why there is no hype
Dude just need to get out of the garbage dump that is the Detroit Pistons. Awful team with very few passable players besides himself and is a city that nobody wants to live in. Hard to get free agents to join such a better situation so they basically just have to rely on draft picks which is hard to do.
What about him being a point forward. I dont think he has the passing ability of a Doncic which hardly anyone does. But he wouldnt need the ball all the time. He also gets a lot taken out of him going against smaller faster PG.
He got caught up in an injury unfortunately but he’s still good and I can see Luka in him but the problem is that he’s playing for Detroit that team is a wasteland I mean shoot they signed Montey to a head coach max in a way and they let him go the next season this team is in shambles
what did you expect? it does not matter how many 1st pick, lottery/top level prospects you can get.. if you keep giving them to the most incompetent organization(s) in Basketball.. they'll find a way to turn all that talent into the worst team in the history of Basketball.. and there's no more forgettable a carreer than as the best player on the worst team in Basketball.. but ey.. at least they pay you $250 million to waste away your talents.. being cannonfodder to teams competent enough to draft the best player in the world and 3xMVP in the 2nd Round..
He's not even better than the inconsistent Jalen Green. Jalen Green had worst players around him than Cade from 2021 to 2023 under Silas and he didnt let the Rockets lose 28 consecutive games as a first option.
I know it can be a bit weird and maybe feel uncomfortable, but maybe you should tell people to like the video earlier as well as in the end, since a good portion probably won't watch that bit, even if they enjoyed the video
