I'm going to start by saying that this is preseason. I get that preseason is not real NBA basketball in a lot of ways. But guys also don't tend to be completely different players between preseason and regular season. SO.
Why can't Cade shoot/score efficiently?
Here are his shooting numbers in each game - 3/11 (1/4 threes), 4/8 (2/4 threes), 3/12 (0/4 threes), and 5/16 (2/8 threes). Now, there are always shots that should be taken with less merit (a missed tip is pretty random, being forced to generate a shot at the very end of the shot clock is going to reduce efficiency). But in the majority of cases, it really looks like Cade is getting the look he wants. He still doesn't drive enough, and isn't getting all the way to the basket the way you'd expect with his handles and creativity, but where are the results?
I'd love for someone else to prop my hopes up here. I'm no scout, so I could easily be missing something big. Has anyone else been watching and has a different take?
