Cade Cunningham Could Be the NBA's Next Pick-and-Roll Wizard

- As a primary ball handler and facilitator, Cade has a unique build. You'll see him listed at either 6'6" or 6'7", depending on the source, and he's also had his wingspan measured at seven feet. That’s a significant plus wingspan for his player type.
Cunningham's not the type of quick-twitch athlete that makes you rewind the tape over and over, but for Cade's size, he's an intriguing blend of lower body strength and balance, and he’s far from a slouch in terms of flexibility and speed. His frame looks like it could very easily add a substantial amount of strength, and I do think that he could become a more physically imposing player at his position. He's more or less a tight end with the mind of a QB1 that's out there playing point guard.

If the Dime Drop uploaded more often
He’ll have a Mill easy he’s so entertaining
Myles Teal i was literally gonna comment the same thing
This is so good. Especially the Monterey Jack reference.
Wow TB
Dime Drop just signed a 4-year $38 million dollar contract with the Lakers
Tyler Speier mans is still underpaid
I would take 10% of that
I promise you casual basketball fans underrate play making unless somebody averaging 10 APG.
Run The Likes ????? Huh?
No one underrated playmaking. If anything, playmaking as a whole is an overstated yet poorly understood concept.
What "casuals" don't like are players who are good-great playmakers but can't make their own shot.
Then they act like averaging 10 assists is easy
Crazy thing is averaging 10 doesn’t lead to winning championships only 2 players in nba history averaged 10 assists and went on to win a championship that’s magic and lebron two of the top 5 players of all time
biggest problem was inconsistent shooting. One year later he's averaging 40% 3PT in NCAA
the whole time watching this video, i was thinking "so he's like... a good lonzo."
probably a cross between luka/lonzo/brandon roy. lonzo wasn’t good in PnR in HS/college.
@@thedimedrop8153 True, Lonzo is generally good fast break and dynamic passing.
Sounds like he has the same problems as lonzo. Difference is lonzo has had a couple years with NBA trainers and coaches yet hasn't gotten better
Aaron He definitely got better. Injuries, teamplay, and lack of opportunities given to him made those who don’t really follow the Lakers game by game think that he hasn’t improve a bit. But if you saw his performance on his rookie year compare to the glimpses that he showed (especially when Lebron was out), you will actually see the difference.
@@edmichaelalobog8886 disagree. I'd say he got worse with LeBron on the floor. He literally sat dead last in the entire NBA for percentage within 2 feet. That's horrifying given how bad of a shooter he is. He's a good defender. I don't ever see him as anything more than an above average roll player. Can't finish, can't shoot.
Role players play D and pass. Not stars. He thinks he's a star. He needs a lot more game to be a star
If I ever have kids and they want to hoop I plan on teaching them this style of play as the blueprint. No matter how athletic you are you can always be effective in some capacity
Smart
4:51 hurt my heart as a pistons fan. here we are 2 years later, with cade which is f*cking fantastic don't get me wrong, but i still get nightmares about selecting killian over haliburton. it was SO OBVIOUS EVEN BACK THEN. smh, that back court would been disgusting, two incredible players with incredible, loyal mindsets. great call kyle
Glad to see Ivey get selected by Detroit. Seems like he should be a great fit next to cade
2:54 to 2:58 LeBron’s pass🔥🔥🔥
straight fire!
That was sick
I like the dime drop so much I'll watch a breakdown of a kid I've never even heard of
Dime drop back with another banger💯
I've been following his videos for the last few hours. He's really a joy to watch.
Stewart, Grant, Cade, Bey and Hayes in 2 years could be contenders. They have a pretty good bench as well, and are all so young. All of those guys can play/guard about 3-4 positions. Crazy versatility. It’ll be interesting to see!
I’m excited for us
Mason Plumlee is in the way
Did not work out :(
Shoutout cade I played with him sophomore year at pangos all south camp
Bro that lebron play against the hawks...
I’d never pretend to know what a man does with his time... but if these uploads came a litttttle more often, your fan base would absolutely EXPLODE. There’s a huge market for intelligent basketball fans that love vids like these. A lot of people (like myself) are over the Ballife “highlight” videos.
He also does videos for The Ringer
Hey Dime Drop, what do you think about Sharife Cooper (‘20 PG - McEachern HS, GA)?
Finally someone talks about Cade that nigga so cold
Another day, another Dime Drop. Life is good.
One of the best basketball channels on CZcams. I always enjoy your videos.
I missed this channel!
Can't wait for more vids dude, I am always hyped when I see a new Dime Drop Video. WE NEED MORE UPLOADS!!!!!!
Yooooo Roy Ayers instrumental for the background music. Here have a like!
czcams.com/video/IrkquXZTT5k/video.html
It's a year until the NBA draft. Hear me clearly. Quote me. Come back to this video. Cade Cunningham is going to be a New York Knick
This dude is the real deal. All the finishing around the rim and shooting will come with experience and repetition. He’s gonna be fine and we’re gonna see a huge growth of shooting after his senior year
Love his game! He’s not too athletic like the best PGs in the NBA but he knows how to play. Saw him in person and he’s physically imposing. Better shooter than people give him credit for I think he can be an all star with the right people around him.
Moarrrrrr Dime Dropsssss!
I have to admit, I laughed pretty hard picturing T. Boone Pickens excitedly mashing his hands together from his throne of $100 dollar bills!
RIP
Dime Drop is the best basketball content on youtube change my mind
It's irrelevant, but I had him on my My league team with Zion and he was averaging some ridiculous numbers on Sim sliders
Not really all that irrelevant. Those 2k sims pull from some pretty solid cyber scouts lol. I've played through years and seen names years before they would make it to the league.
This guy is the best player in high school besides maybe Patrick Baldwin Jr. or Emoni Bates. Can you do Baldwin next, please? Sam Vecenie said he's one of the best "big shooters" he's ever seen.
you my friend, just earned a subscription lol. great analysis man seriously.
This guy is what lonzo is in nba in high school stricky shot bad finisher good defender and good player maker
I need to watch more Brandon Roy to see where that comparison keeps coming from
Imma need one on Brandon Boston or Shariffe Cooper
The prodigal son has returned. You’re like the Zach Shomler for Basketball
that comparison was on point.
Back after the case 40 piece I pray I’m one day rich enough to hire you full time and have you read every single thing around me in that angelic voice of yours sincerely,
a fellow basketball nerd
Let's get a Cole Anthony video, that dude is gonna come in and storm college and NBA mark my words
he’s definitely gonna be better than his pops
the next grant hill
Miss this channel
Your content is amazing
He developed into the #1 pick
A perfect mix between Lonzo and Ben Simmons
The content we need!
love the analysis keep posting please!!
Huge win over Baylor this week, and did some big time take charge scoring. Hope to see him continue to grow
I agree and I love your stuff. Love the flowery way you describe basketball, haha. Big fan.
You could make a similar vid about Jalen Johnson. That kid can pass the rock. And is crazy long
This is the best basketball commentary CZcams channel. Bring on the subs bois
Love it when you break down players on the high school level
That Ian Karmel chef kiss though.
This video making genius got that Chris Vernon style Southern draaaaaawl going on!
Please do one for Terrance Clarke
This ‘everybody loves the sunshine’ flip is fire

I see people compare him to Lanzo Ball in the comments. But Lanzo is a transition passer at heart, I see him more like a Ricky Rubio coming in assist from pick and rolls and steals with many long 2's.
Very well put together video!!!!!
Thank you Ralph Sampson
Another excellent video my friend 🙌
Sounds like Lonzo 2.0
He looks way more coordinated and stable then Lonzo.
Lonzo was never that dynamic of a PnR ball handler tho, he always used his shooting range as his biggest source of leverage
A more pass-first oriented Paul pierce or Brandon Roy
Desi Lol he’s going to be what Lonzo was meant to be
id love an i depth look at Ntilikinas play in the world cup and maybe one for each of the top rookies from this past draft once they've had enough time in the league
Damn you mentioned Haliburton way before he became a known name
Nice comments. The way the moves on the floor reminds me of Harden in the way he uses his own pace and doesn't let the defense speed him up. Dude scores in bunches, quick release on the shot. If there is any karma, given the year of destruction they've had, he'll be Rocket fuel.
More athletic and bigger Kyle Lowry ?
A future MVP
Reminds me of Fultz or B Roy
He seems like a less athletic Lonzo. People forget even Lonzo put up 24 points on 37% from 3 in high school. Cade doesn’t seem like he can ever get to where Zo is now on defense, and while it can be developed, his playmaking doesn’t look as great as Lonzo’s did in highschool. He definitely looks like an NBA player, and hopefully he gets a coach that can develop that offensive game nonstop for a year. Reminds me more of an Evan Turner type beat
Best one yet #GoPokes
That ref seriously called the spin move at 2:05 a travel lol. Sir you need to get with the times, this isn't the 80s. We need fluid movement in the game of basketball
#BBN that dakari Johnson shoutout
Ur tha 🐐 I was just studying his game thx!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💸💸💸💸💸💸🤩🤑👌🤩🤩😏😏😮🤣🤣
Btw youre the best basketball youtuber and i love your content
Ummm how was that a travel at 1:58 ?
I’m a Knicks fan and I have the same dilemma with Frank Ntilikina he’s such a great defender and passer that I don’t understand why he can’t get it together with his shooting and offense in general it’s puzzling 🤔
Do one of these on lamelo
Hope he watches this and it helps his game really interesting
ANTHONY EDWARDS Or SHARIFE COOPER ❗️
Kinda weird how many of the very intelligent offensive orchestrators are bad team defenders. It's almost essentially the same skill, reading the floor and anticipating the open man/pass. At that point it's just physical limitations or laziness that stop them from being a good team defender. If you can read where the open man weakside is on offense, surely you can read it as well on defense and predict the pass to him.
Also Cade's feet are always pointed "ten toes to the rim" which makes it awkward/less smooth than natural shooters. That fundamental bullsht isn't working that's why the best shooters in the nba don't follow that rule, esp. the off the dribble shooters. At the very least, only the white spot shooter kind if guy follow that.
That weakness in finishing tho. I could swear it's his biggest strength when watching highlights, finishing with physicality consistently. Didn't know he was having trouble with it.
Can you please do a breakdown on Jaden Hardy??? That kid is special on the offensive end
Dante Exum vibes... hell yeah, he's going to the league
do brandon boston jr. 🔥
damn cool to see a dakari johnson shoutout. saw him play in a g league game and he was clearly the best player on the floor, he got moved up the next season but he was was on a team with 2 established bigs. sucks to see
My favorite hs player
One of the best hooper accounts ever ❤️
Dime drop you gave to do a vid on sharife Cooper!!!! Def the best point guard in high school
I just did a video on the best point guard in High school!
@@thedimedrop8153 no disrespect but sharife Cooper is league's above case Cunningham. Sharife is a mix of Cavs kyries mixed with Chris Paul (back when he was on the hornets). I'm sorry but it's not even close
Kyle needs to get hired by The Athletic
Cade to the Pelicans please. Pair him & Zion up. That'd be off tha chain!! If he doesnt land on N.O., I pray he lands to the Bulls to team up with Patrick Williams & Vuc . Do a 3 way trade with Boston & Sacramento involving LaVine, Markannen & Coby White to acquire Marvin Bagley & Jaylen Brown.
The small clips when describing the player are too strong 💯
Lonzo is a gifted passer, dont get me wrong, but he's still behind as a pick and roll ball handler. Cade already projects better in this specific part of passing the rock.
Kyle Tran he’s behind because his midrange is non existent
You should do a video on Terrence Clarke and Anthony Edwards
please do a deni avdija vid
You just had to remind me of Rescue Rangers... Yes I remember the show too, but my daycare growing up had the NES cart, which was definitely designed by some cruel programmer, abused by the game programming business into taking out on us kids! 😏 ... and I'm so triggered I'm gonna thumbs up, subscribe and keep coming back for more for some reason because that's just how I grew up 🤣
Gotta do Jon Kuminga
He back
I watch him and think he’s like if MCW didn’t fall off
wow and this year he was the #1 pick
Quality stuff again from Ben, here.
You can see indeed he has panoramic vision and patience to wait before doing the inspired pass.
He could think of playing in Europe and make money instead of college. Does he ?
Names not Ben
It’s Ben Taylor the narrator, isn’t it ?
But not the author ?
Correct me if i’m wrong
Wrong channel bud
Really ?
The « dime drop « narrator and « thinking basketball » one is not the same ?
Unless it’s the name that I have wrong. I understood it was Ben Taylor. I appreciate the work a lot but he seems to like his privacy ( don’t blame him i understand).
Yes really, my name is Kyle Mann and his name is Ben Taylor. We are two separate human beings.
Please basketball gods we need this kid at osu.
make one about jalen green or josh Christopher
Do Josh Christopher
Can you do RJ Hampton, Jalen Green
Brogdon-esque potential?
Maybe with a bit more of a knack for making reads , henceforth the right pass, but I'd say an apt comparison.
