My man,
Every player in the history of basketball (especially people to handle the ball a lot) have had multiple turnover games! Hell players like LBJ, Kidd, Curry, etc have had several 7-8 turnover games in their careers! TOs are a part of the game!
For me, having started to watch him more closely, it isn't necessarily the end result.
More concerning has been the way he turns it over.
Like last night, the two that really stood out where the ones where he just made really bad decisions against pressure.
One, he spun paint side, in to a double team......which is basically something they teach you not to do in 3rd grade.
The other, he tried to force his way through 3 players, instead of kicking it cross court to a wide open shooter.
Those are getting concerning. Just that they are lower BBIQ plays, from a guy that needs to be a point forward to have unique skill.
I'm more in the middle on Cade. I'd say positive middle. I think I take him 3rd. Mobley / Green / Cade. Prior to this year I would have taken him 1st. But he's pretty close to being behind Barnes for me here, and being more of a guy you begrudgingly take 5th......which is a pretty big fall for someone who, for 2+ years, was considered the consensus #1 in this draft.
