Class of 2023 PG Elliot Cadeau (NJ / Link) Portal to Michigan

[Cuseball]

Good enough for Dusty Mays and Michigan but not good enough for Cuse, according to many fans on here.

Yeah that is ridiculous. He has flaws and isn’t perfect but would be the best PG we had in a long time. I suspect he will do very well at Michigan.

Mintz was better last year and it wasn’t close.

That's very true, I'm just shocked it is you espousing it

Comparing Cadeau to JJ defensively is pretty crazy. their defensive efficiency is like 10 points apart. Im not saying that to defend him but just to point out that no one is as bad as JJ is. Even buddy was a better defender than JJ.

The frustration with guys like JJ who have the fundamentals to be good defenders (athletic, have good lateral movement and quickness) is the lack of effort and practice/training in that area to get better. Buddy is a good example of a flat footed guy who compensates on defense just by keeping his hands up, angling and figuring out when to go under or over screens. Too many basketball players focus too much on offense and wonder why they can’t make the NBA.

Buddy? JB's kid? On defense?

Yes. That guy. He was bad defensively due to lack of quickness, athleticism and all the gifts that help to be a good defender, but he made an effort and although fruitless at times, you could see the effort.
