2026 NBA Draft Thread

[RustyShackleford]

Actually not a horrible comp. I think Cade profiles as a better playmaker though.

aepps20 just became a Cade fan

I haven't watched too much but is it possible...

that Cade Cunningham's median outcome might be



...Gordon Hayward?

6'8 tall athletic ball handlers who can shoot,
but lack the juice as a one on one scorer to really power an elite offense?

Good job not going with a #ComplexionComparison

 

[ballinsam23]

Any wing with a mediocre handle that can pass the ball and shoot really.

 

[B Sox]

Nah man

Folks were JUST saying he was like Paul George and now it's Gordon Hayward? Y'all aren't slick.

Huge fan and very proud of him and what he's done in Stillwater. He helped keep Oklahoma red and I'm proud of him.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

With Cade, I feel like despite his lack of 1 v 1 sauce, I am actually excited to see him play with pros. Depending on which team gets him I feel like his situation in college is tough on him. I mean imagine if he and Suggs switched places? I'm not talking down on Suggs that's my guy I'm just saying I don't think Oklahoma State is very good

 

[B Sox]

Don't overthink it with Cade. He's 6'8" shooting 41% from 3 and 85% from the stripe and has good vision. The size and skill level is what matters. He's a seamless fit on any team.

Suggs is probably my favorite player to watch in the country but he's legitimately in the perfect basketball situation on that Gonzaga team.

I still need to see what’s up with Kuminga

[gregory house]

Can't wait for this G-league bubble, trying to see the young kids flourish

 

[corymatthews]

Cade Cunningham is the light skinned Gordon Hayward? I do like that comparison too.

[frshstunna]

Howard got the name recognition but it’s not the program to go to to try to pull off the top prospect at a HBCU thing...They haven’t known what they doing with their basketball team for a long time

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Ignite play at 8 AM tomorrow. Come on man

 

[pums]

Crazy how Lamelo and Cade are basically the same age.

 

[pmatic]

Ignite vs Santa Cruz Warriors tipping off in 10 minutes.

 

[DsLee]

Ignite not looking good to start off, could be nerves but they're scattered.

 

[frshstunna]

I can’t watch cuz of work ...Yall keep me posted in here

I’m interested in how Kuminga looking

 

[addict4sneakers]

Imagine going to college in a pandemic

 

[pmatic]

Brandon Ashley

Where's Kaleb Tarczewski at? Jordin Mayes?

 

[DsLee]

Kuminga getting his attempts and shots up, Jalen Green is quiet so far. Jalen on Nico (vice versca).

Edit: Jarret Jack sighting

 

[pmatic]

Nix with the strong drive to the hoop and then comes down the next possession, delivers a cross court pass to the corner for a three. I am intrigued.

 

[N41D]

If Kuminga shows he can shoot it at range at a reasonable rate, I would not be the least bit surprised if he rose to the top of the board.

hard to make that read playing against that Syracuse 2-3 zone

Coach would've told him to run the offense and milk the clock.
