I love Cade’s game so much. Reminds me of what I played like. In my dreams anyway. But same style so I love watching him.

If he becomes a better shooter, which I think he will, watch out Joker, SGA, and Wemby.

Do you think teams would select Cade first among players in the Eastern Conference?

Was that Bronny James making meaningful contributions last night?

I guess you'd have to define "meaningful".

I mean, he scored 5 points on 2 shots in 9 minutes, so not really a great contribution. But the game went to OT, so if he misses either shot theoretically the Lakers lose.
 
I think 5 points in 9 minutes is "meaningful." It's not sizeable. It might be replacement level. But it's meaningful.

Meaningful in that it was done while the game was competitive. Not garbage time.

I think he can eventually become a serviceable NBA player. He’s certainly got a ways to go, but it’s not out of the question. His problem is the gigantic shadow his father casts.

What do think makes that problematic for him?

He’s just not a can’t miss prospect. Also, with his size he’s going to have to play on the perimeter. Those skills just aren’t developed yet. He certainly can become a solid NBA player, he’s just not there yet.

I was referring to the shadow being cast.

Sure, but if that is "meaningful", then pretty much every player who played in the game made a "meaningful" contribution.

Seven players played less than 10 minutes. The other six combined for 3 points. So I would indeed differentiate between Bronny's 5 points in 9 minutes from, say, Ja'Sean Tate's 1 point (on 1-2 FTs) in 4 minutes. Or Aaron Holidays' 0 points and 1 TO in 6 minutes.
