Not impressed with Cade thus far. Turning the ball over(3 TO to 1 assist)defense is suspect. Hasn’t been able to get to the rim.  Green looks like the better prospect.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Cade doesn't look great but still just Summer League.

I know, but It’s not exactly going to be easier during regular season. I get that it’s one game, but he seems a step slow and can’t get to the rim effectively.

His far from elite decision-making has been on show. I tried to tell some people! ;D

I thought he looked a step slow in college too.

I love how Pokusevski didn’t turn up to Summer League, that fits perfectly with his playing attitude.

I could seem him saying, “Me? Summer League! Poku is above this level.”

I agree. So how is he going to be able to get by defenders in the NBA and stay with his man defensively? He got burned quite a few times tonight. Seems very average athletically.

Yeah I’m on the same boat, his college season he averaged more turnovers then assists. Hayes has better vision IMO.

Rarely do you see such a terrible rookie get so overrated. He is one of the worst offensive players I have ever seen! OKC did a bad thing by enabling those tendencies rather than reigning him in I think. He should have been moulded into a Diaw type forward and spent his first couple of seasons barely shooting.

This commentator for the Det/OKC game is saying that Kyle Lowry should have a statue outside of Toronto’s arena. Says that he Is the greatest Raptor of all time and delivered them a championship.  ::)

He is right about being the greatest Toronto Raptor of all time, although the bar is reasonably low.

I know it was Kawhi that did most of the heavy lifting, Lowry was huge in winning a championship, he hit some big shots himself and his defence was invaluable.

When it comes to the statue, who knows what level a statue is worth these days. Shaq has a statue outside the Lakers arena and he was only there for 8 years, forced his way out in the process and probably cost Lakers two titles for being extremely petty with Bryant.

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit for Harden to eventually get a statue outside of Rockets Arena. If I was the team owner that guy wouldn’t even get his jersey retired.

It was probably all part of Presti’s tanking strategy lol

Yeah I agree, by enabling him they are just creating a monster.

Pokusevski even turned down the chance to play for Serbia in the off-season, so it shows his level of individualism.

Just comparing him to Tatum in summer league and he doesn't seem like a top pick.
