Cadee has NBA characteristics

After watching him yesterday, he reminds me alot of Rajon Rondo.

Given he made the world select u18 team, has he attracted any nba interest?

The car accident slowed down his development. His next step is to get stronger and become a good NBL player, then he can start thinking about Boomers and NBA.

For the sake of comparison, look at Brad Newley: was dominating the NBL by age 22, with NBA size (6'7"), good athleticism and a capable finisher at the time. He was drafted VERY late in the second round at the 54th overall pick in the 2007 NBA draft, and hasn't realistically had a proper look at making an NBA roster despite performing well internationally.

Patty Mills isn't guaranteed a spot in the NBA any given year despite arguably being Australia's best player; Matty Dellavedova may not be drafted despite his very well-rounded game; Joe Ingles is only now garnering remotely serious consideration by NBA teams after tearing up the Olympics; Thomas Abercrombie hasn't had a real sniff at the NBA; world-class scorer Kirk Penney played very briefly in the NBA in his career.

At a similar age to many of the players listed above, Jason is largely unproven in the NBL. He will likely be a very capable starter, but I doubt would receive interest from the top leagues in Europe in Cadee's prime, let alone the NBA. PG is also a very contested position, with plenty of talent worldwide. That's why the NBL has the likes of Cedrick Jackson, Kevin Lische, Gary Ervin etc. Cadee has virtually ZERO chance of attracting serious NBA interest.

I'm very happy the 36ers have picked up Cadee & it looks all well for the future but to compare Cadee to Rondo, please don't be so silly!

I think guys like Newley and joe haven't made it as they don't bring anything different to the table than what the nba can get locally. Plenty of 6'7 athletic guys in the USA .

All the Aussies that have made the nba thus far have skill sets not readily available mostly size , speed, elite level shooting etc you need at least one of those

Cadee doesn't have it just yet

Please explain the NBA characteristics?
He looked good out there, quite steady as a pg, but not sure what NBA he has in him?

Our kids are to well rounded for the NBA.... yanks want specialists. Penny had a shot cause hes a pure shooter, bigs will get a look a bit, Patty is quick as can be but as mentioned above not guaranteed a spot every year. Newly and Jingles most likely wont get gigs due to athleticism and no specific specialty.

Over here they teach kids to play in sets from very early ages (Ive seen U10s) and they just try to make em a specific position from around 10 - 12 years old.

Im not saying it works, I think our coaching and system is yonks better than the yanks but when you have soooo many people playing eventually one or two of those specialists get tall and are athletic and suddenly are being drafted before our kids. The depth in talent playing basketball over here is insane!

If your 6'6' or under you better be amazing (see AIS or U19s Aussie team) to get a good gig playing college ball over here. Soooooo many quality athletes under 6'6'.

DB5, if he did wear a headband, he probably wouldn't even wear it upside down.

Anon, any basketball player under 6'6" has to be exceptional. Nothing specific to us about that, surely? I'd even argue that over that, height is something exceptional anyway.

Cadee is at best a starter in the NBL.

Can I ask what it is exactly that Cadee does better than Tom Daly?

Very similar players IMO.

Higher ceiling maybe?

I like Daly but I remember And The Foul saying he was outclassed at the Hawks trials this off-season by other candidates?
