Look at how low Cade’s trunk (upper body) angle gets on this drive to facilitate his acceleration: special stuff to be able to initiate this much contact while being that flexible and power your way to the rim at 6’7 & 19. **functional stride power**
like, he never got moved off his straight line path here. thats wild.
how pace & strength make the slashing equation work: Cade can fully control the timing on this hesi (note his weight shifting backwards to really sell it) to the extent that his defender is constantly guessing. One wrong step, and he has the size to maintain a straight line drive
if/when the pullup comes around (looking closer and closer everyday), Cade leveraging that gravity & the new pockets of space he’s afforded, will be the End for defenses
a masterclass in deception: he purposely slows his dribble & pace to a halt in order to feel out the big’s priorities and make him relax, knowing he can get past whenever. as soon as the big takes that half step back, Cade uses an IT staple to drive & the finishing adaptability
