And you’re number one is ???

He had Jalen Suggs #1 before March Madness.

My impression for a longtime has been that Cade was going to fall a bit. Haven’t followed it closely, may not now that we’re not high lottery bound, but with Suggs & Mobley right there it doesn’t make sense for Cade to take the #1 spot with his ?’s a little more obvious than the others.

cade’s been getting slowed by a bunch of nobodies pretty consisently… it’s all floaters and hook shots and pull ups….

he’s absolutely good… it’s just it’s a bit much for a guy who’s supposed to be consensus #1 type.. if you look at him vs d’angelo russell’s #s they are strikingly similar… and i think they’re going to have similar issues in the pro’s… namely getting to the hoop and finishing which is going to impact cade’s overall efficiency…

dlo was a solid prospect in a decent draft and he went right behind KAT but ahead of some soso/probably overrated draftees… dlo would absolutely not be consensus #1 in this draft and there’s a lot more quality at the top in this one…

this draft reminds me of the ayton draft and luka… not that suggs or even green or mobley are as good as luka but i think it’s clear that there is someone else that should be #1 and it’s not cade….

I think Cade is good but by the standards of one and done types he seems pretty pedestrian. I don’t know if he is tired or what tonight but I don’t see that much burst out of him. He can shoot but he doesn’t seem like a great athlete to me.

He did make a great play with the steal and three but he also got stuffed pretty embarrassingly on a mid range jump shot.

I don’t know. I have watched him 5-6 times this season and haven’t been that impressed. Will be a good pro but not a franchise saver.

In the not overrated department, Luka scorching hot to the touch tonight.

Kevin Pelton just tweeted:

As great as Cade Cunningham has been from 3-point range as a freshman (40%), his 47% shooting inside the arc is on the low side for an NBA-bound guard. We’re seeing that issue tonight as Cunningham is 2-of-6 on 2-point attempts.

Still not getting the Cade love

He’s one of the best freshmen in the country, he’s young and he’s a 6’8″ playmaking wing who can shoot.

Z-man:
Sixer are going to be a tough out if Embiid is healthy. Doc has them fired up.

Yes, Doc’s doing a very good job, tonight despite missing Embiid and Curry they played 10 guys 15 minutes or more and everyone did something to help the team.

If we would have had Derrick Rose available, I think we’d have at least 2 more wins right now. Fire away.
