I never envisioned Cade as the guy dribbling into traffic to take a tough, contested layup over a good defender. I always imagined him as a guy who just scores in the flow of the offense. He was an enticing prospect because of all the boxes he checked: size in the backcourt, playmaking, leadership, shooting, ballhandling, etc. The only thing disappointing is his shooting - which is a big problem.
He was supposed to be the type of guy that would attract free agents because of his floor-raising abilities. He is not being used as intended. Maybe it will just take time and this is all just a part of putting him through trials to stimulate growth.
It's probably deflating for the whole team to just be dribbling into the lane to kick-out to someone who won't shoot the ball or take a tough layup or mid-range against traffic. How are you supposed to play hard when you get zero quality shots on the offensive end?
