Dylan Harper said during all star weekend that Cade was his favorite player growing up and who he modeled his game after. This series I really saw why. He is that fucking guy. Cool as a cucumber putting up 30.

It’s kinda funny that Harper is only 4.5 years younger than Cade but this actually holds up. Harper was 100% watching that Montverde team, so Harper was legitimately a kid when he first saw Cade and did in fact grow up watching him despite the small age gap

Cade was getting legit attention at the end of his high school career and obviously in college; Harper would have been a 7th - 9th grader (so like ages 12 to ¹⁴⁄₁₅) in the years of Cade being a big name pre-NBA, so I’d definitely still classify that as “growing up”.

I’ll admit I was a Cade skeptic early. But he has absolutely proven himself on an entirely different level. Which is all you can really ask from a player in a playoff environment. He’s officially in the elite tier as far as I’m concerned.

Cade had 39 and 27 on him in the first two games. Two great games and two bad games isn’t really enough to go “Franz clamps!!!!”

Teeshirtandshortsguy | Pistons

41 | 5 hours ago

The bigger effect I think was limiting his passing.

A lot of those possessions Cade was just dribbling the ball for like 18 seconds. Wagner may not have prevented him from scoring as much, but he did limit his passing ability.

Its funny seeing the glze now when this sub used to shit on him like he could control his garbage team mates.

Now imagine if Cade had an all star 2nd option type of player how much better he would be with less ball prssure.
