    On the latest Viseland we broke down the 2020 Draft, who did well and who should contribute immediately. We also go through free agent acquisitions and trades, whether they were good for the team or possibly hurt their 2020-21 outcome. If you want the latest and a detailed rundown, we have you covered.

    Who were some of your favorite draft picks? Any off-season acquisitions you have really liked or disliked? Good place to talk about it, always appreciate anyone who checks it out or listen on Apple, Spotify or wherever through Anchor.

    Speaking of the 20-21 season ..Im watching potential Number 1 pick Cade Cunningham of Oklahoma State for the first time….Dude seems to be Living up to the Hype…..After watching him today ,its hard seeing someone overtaking him as the 1st pick…….Reminds me of a smaller Ben Simmons,but a better shooter…

    Grant Hill to Cade is one of the best comps out there. I like Brandon Roy also, with his handle, ability to get to his spots. Definitely seems to be Cade and then everyone else, though some good choices with everyone else as well. The Cunningham and Likekele duo seemed to be a tad off today, hoping they get more synchronized. Cade’s jumper looked nice, has the pull-up threat and scored through contact. His passing is such a huge aspect as well, hoping his teammates connect on more shots as the season goes on.

    Really exciting prospect who has so much of what you are looking for in terms of that team centerpiece at this level and the next. 6’7 (not sure I buy the listed height, but close), 220 with a 7’0 wingspan, covers so much space on defense, gets to the paint easily, fantastic on kickouts and finishes at a high rate. Obviously a long season and months before the draft, but he did nothing to dispel the excitement about him being the guy for the 2021 draft.

    Cade’s floor game is very similar to Grant Hill. He seems to be stronger than Hill was at the same stage of their careers . But on terms of his athleticism,he’s more Simmons. Grant was more explosive. Anyway after a Disappointing end to College and no Tournament Becuz of the Pandemic. Cade and these high profile freshmen r going to make it fun.

    Everyone keeps saying Cade is like Grant Hill, i could find a more silly comparison. Its not that they don’t have similar abilities, but the comparison is a bit ridiculous.
    I saw someone else compare him to Westbrook, which is also fairly inaccurate but is way better than Grant Hill.

    How about this?
    Lets stop with the comparisons, especially the HOF or HOF player comparisons and just wait to see how this guy does against NCAA talent. Lets see what tendencies he leans toward and what he does regularly. Then we can make a far more apt comparison.
