He was playing the 4 today after Crocker got injured and had a bigger (and slower) than usual guy guarding him.
I think Cade's taken it to the hoop more than you give him credit for in the past, but it's only natural he'd do it more while playing forward than as a guard.
Yep.
And for the record, the mile run has nothing to do with "speed". Speed is who can run baseline to baseline the fastest. Speed, in basketball, is quickness. The mile run measures how fastly whatever "speed" you have is going to fall off. Obviously Cade is in great shape. Doesn't make him fast though.
Definitely true about the mile run. In the past, though, you've questioned his athleticism against good athletes. Would you say that Mizzou is slow defensively, and that is why he was able to get to the hoop?
