One thing you have to know about Cade is that he's in the Luka style of star. I don't mean that he's exactly the same as Luka, player comps suck, but what I mean is that he wins with masterful pace, body control, dribble moves, craft, etc, rather than raw explosion and athleticism. He doesn't have a 45 inch vertical. Here are some clips from today, for anyone who missed the game, which show off some of these positives:

Cade more change of pace on the rejection and finish through contact. Realizing the combination of pace, strength, and touch is potent pic.twitter.com/6cu2vctqAr

I would recommend Max as a follow on Twitter by the way, for anyone interested in the draft. He's one of several really good draft twitter accounts: not only does he do a lot of clipping, which is great if you miss a game and can't catch up for a while (though obviously, still watch the full game when you can), but he's also one of the two hosts of the Prep2Pro podcast, the best draft podcast out there imo.
