S2 Ep 38: The Case Against Cade Jul 14, 2021

Show notes

Chad's guest is Dean Demakis from deanondraft.com. While Cade Cunningham has played the role of consensus No. 1 all year, not everyone sees it that way. Dean, using analytics and past player comps, argues that Cunningham is not the No. 1 pick, nor should he be in the Top 3. He also argues that Evan Mobley is clearly best prospect in the draft, along with Alperen Sengun, Scottie Barnes and Jalen Suggs. He also argues, using his analytics model, that both Jalen Green and Davion Mitchell are highly overrated.
