I think I understand both sides on the Cade issue. However, the game of basketball always has been, is now and always will be a game that must be played inside out offensively to be consistently good. We are strictly an outside team. So when you show Cade's number of shots and the fact that we lost, this would generally be true for any player, and not just cade, on any team that doesn't have an inside presense.
We simply don't have any height or athletic semi-bigs. Our 6'7 or 6'8 kids are jumpers and are strictly below the rim players. This just won't work very well against most D-1 teams. We are just going to have to scramble and scratch to win some games.
Any team that just runs around outside the arc and shoots jump shots is going to be inconsistent offensively. Any team that doesn't have an inside presence defensively is going to be an average team defensively. We are what we are this year.
Bottom line, someone has to shoot the ball and Cade is as good an option as any other on this team most nights. Against kentucky, he was the only player on our team that looked like he belonged on the same court. He is a good D-1 player. If you don't agree, I disagree with you. If someone wants to say he is a great player, then I disagree with you. He is a good D-1 player that plays winning basketball, on a very poor team, that is not capable of carrying a team most nights. At least this is my opinion of him.
I like having Cade, I just wish we had a true point and a couple of legit bigs, to play with him.
