Yall acting like he can’t get better

tough player just has some he needs to work on during sophmore year

I think that he is in a position where he was almost never going to flourish. In hs during his junior year ( he reclassed up to skip senior year) when they won geico he was ina position where he was the main ball handler and had an efficient 3 point scorer (jakobe walter), 2 very good bigs, and a scheme that was built around his playmaking. This year on unc he has to Share reps bringing the ball up with RJ Davis and even when he gets the ball a lot of unc offense just ends up in an Armando bacot post 1 on 1. I think that next year when he is the main Ball handler he will succeed more and have a leap similar to what we thought tyrese proctor would be.

“You just can’t leave the floor on a shot fake frm Elliot” nah that’s a violation😂

It's okay to not be one & done. Keeping growing. Get your stock up. you're 18-22, you're still growing physically. NBA not going anywhere

Let’s see what he’s gonna do moving forward.. He was highly ranked coming out of high school for a reason. Only God knows what Elliot’s future holds and so far he has made it to one of the top schools in the country! He only fails if he gives up! Elliott is a highly skilled player and I look forward to seeing his growth in the 2024/25 season..

He's a freshman with a serious work ethic. He'll come back with a much improved jumper next year, and he's already got Ty Lawson speed. He will be a hella college point guard. I'd say let's revisit this convo a year from now. He's got a bag and he's busy stuffing it.

Great vid. So funny how shooting is his main weakness when he’s been a tough shot make throughout his career definitely think it’s mental. His confidence is growing hopefully he has a great march. But looking forward to seeing him for his soph season with Ian Jackson back court 🔥

I am 12 years old and 100% agree with you! well said about PGs

totally agree!

love your channel bro, keep going with these breakdowns for hs and college players 100k by the end of the year 🔥

Which is why we should players time to develop. No one saw him as a one and done prospect. He’s gonna be really good.

Comparing a rising soph to an NBA player is not fair. Yes, Cadeau needs work, and he'll get it. The question is where will he fit with Seth Trimble and possibly RJ Davis returning. I wouldn't be surprised if he hit the portal late if RJ returns.

Not overrated at all. Just let him grow a bit he’ll be an amazing passing guard like Steve Nash. In today’s world people just want everything straight away. Give him some time, I promise you, you’ll watch that comment back in 5 years from now.

The potential is there, he just needs time to develop. Better free throw shooting, a middy and/or floater, and a decent 3 would all really elevate his game. He needs to limit the turnovers too, but we've seen great glimpses of what he's capable of as a passer.

Unc fan, watch every game. The potential is right there for him. He works on that shot and can get comfortable it’s open up even more. I disagree he “hides” be hind being a pass first player and high IQ. That is just 100% true, you can see it, in the way he plays. Nothing wrong with that, you still need that in the NBA no matter what analytics says. This kid wouldn’t be ranked if he was talented, or has the potential. Defense is okay, being smaller you’re gonna get caught in mismatch’s. He’s also getting better with his free throws. Confidence will only get better playing with experienced guys. And still think he’s here at least 3 years until he’s able to go play pro anywhere. Give it time, that’s will tell us everything we need.

I look at it like he's playing the true 1 Role right now. Pass first, create first, be the guy to reset the play mid shot clock. He's never getting clean "this is your specific shot to take passes" i.e. the passes he passes out, and that matters. Like RJ, he's a combo leaning more towards the 2 but his game is to attack from a scoring position first but will see the pass if it comes about. Or coming off screens catch and shoot( this shot is for me to take) and or off the dribble. Once he gets more usage from a catching the ball as its his shot to take perspective he will get better.. not saying 20 plus pts per.. but round 15-20 pts per.. 7.5 assist per type beat.. Great assessment btw!

I’ve never been big on guys skipping there senior year of high school and going to college. PG’s need all the reps they can get. 💯

i think he is a great talent.

thing is he can shoot though like its been seen in hs he just hasbt transitioned yet it may take more time. jared mccain was struggling to shoot early in year nd he is the best shooter in his class and really consistent

I went to live action before the season he definitely can shoot. It’s a confidence issue. If he’s in the gym with this team or his guys he can shoot.

If he finds his shot he'll be in the league sooner than later.

Every player isn’t going to be one and done y’all tend to forget these players are teenagers

I respect your opinion and the fact thst you are willing to be unbiased as a UNC fan but there is more to basketball than just shooting. Especially as a point guard. Rajon Rondo is a guy that was never a particularly great shooter (he hit them when they counted) and was a big contributor to a championship team in recent years with the Lakers and obviously as a younger starting pg with the C's. Everybody doesn't need to be a knockdown shooter, and I think it's important to point out that nobody is a finished product at age 19. I mean, if he were a great shooter then he would have some other deficiency. He DOES have to improve because he isn't even hitting 20 percent which is really not good, but other parts of the game do matter. Take Jason Kidd for example. Word is that coming out of college at Cal he couldn't shoot a lick. He was the ultimate fast break guy and pass first point guard and is an all time great passer, BUT, by the time his career was done he finished top 10 in league HISTORY in made 3's. People can improve. Ben Simmons is a different case because he won't shoot the ball at all. I'm a Duke fan, so I saw Cadeau pass up shots but I think a confidence boost and some time in the gym will bode well for him. He is only 19. A ton of time to improve. There is a lot to be said about a guy that can run a team. As much as they like to call the NBA "positionless" people still say "The Suns need a point guard" which is literally a defined position. If he puts in work on the J he will be fine in the future

Damn good video!👍🏾

You've made an interesting point. If the HS rankings are supposed to reflect NBA projections, why was he ranked so high if he doesn't shoot? It's a bit puzzling. I think that the college game and the pro game are more different than they've ever been.

he was never a one and done and he still is better than 90% of the true Point guards in the nation he can get to the hoop at will he is tough and he has the best vision in the nation he needs to work on his shot other than that he is great

He’s a jumpshot away from being a first round pick

He use to having the ball.Next year he going to be better.

He has to get that jumper together, first and foremost. The confidence trim that alone will open up the entirety of his game. I still believe in him, but if he's looking to be a first rounder, next season is make or break, unless he goes on an unprecedented March Madness run with is more than possible considering how good this UNC team can be.

Elliott is a junior in college, He sticks with Coach Davis, he will grow and improve just as well as Bacot and RJ when they were juniors at UNC. Give Elliott Cadeau a chance.💙🤍💙🤍

Who’s making these ranking!

Also understand he’s deferring to a top 3 player in the county in RJ Davis

Then if you break down film all year they’ve developed a counter to cadeau’s man helping to the post.. when cadeau’s man helps to the post cadeau flashing middle.. when he does that another offensive wing player helps from their man to slide in front of cadeau.. Cadeau immediately screens that guy and bacot mskes the skip pass to a open Ryan or Ingram

And high nor college rankings have shit to do with the nba.. example; Zack edey, RJ Davis, 2 top 3-5 players in the country this year projected second round.. RJ I know is for sure .. and there are roles for guys everywhere.. i bet the spurs with wemby wouldn’t mind a super smart point like cadeau who can get wemby the ball in transition and just in scoring positions period

Love the video as I’m a freshmen and want to get offers during the summer and I’ve watched a lot of Elliot Cadeau’s game and I’ve realized early he’s just doesn’t have the simple things down maybe due to playing basketball later in life maybe around 8th grade or freshmen year.❤

I get what you saying but he can’t shoot and that’s one of the easier things to fix. His athleticism and playmaking is just something you can’t teach he got great defense for someone his size too. As long as he gets his jumper right he’ll be a great nba pg

This was excellent, I just SUBBED ... But you missed one additional flaw about his game ... First time I saw him about a year ago, I noticed that his footwork on his step-backs was very shoddy ... Every time gathers on a step-back he shuffles his feet ... EVERY F***ING TIME ... its really bad ...

UNC don’t send PGs one and done. Their point guards usually stay 2-4 years.

He might go 1 and done 😭

So you said he is a good passer and can see the floor well. And that those passes to the help defenders man is always open which makes him a good passer. BUT... the reason those passes are open is because he gets by his defender a lot. He is young and doesn't trust his shot. He can shoot! He just doesn't

I think talking about him in the context of the NBA is premature. One level at a time. He is still learning how to play at the D-1 level.

Being a North Carolina basketball fan I have been scratching my head wondering how this kid received a 5 star rating???🤔 He definitely has a lot of holes in his game that needs to be addressed going forward in his college basketball career!! Shooting is just one of his many weaknesses on the offensive side of the ball!! Another is he doesn't have a left hand (finishing) to speak of!!! He primarily goes (and finishes) with his right hand!!!College basketball commentaries always compare him to Kendall Marshall and I truly don't see that!! Kendall is the greatest passer in North Carolina basketball (definitely)and maybe the ACC history!! (imo) Totally two different skillsets!!! (too many to name) But its too early to definitely label him as "overrated" and we'll have to see in another 2 or so years!!! Go Heels!!!

You’re completely right and I think that’s why UNC works for him. I remember after watching the blue and white scrimmage thinking he had an ugly shot. And soon I noticed not only were the mechanics not good but there was no confidence in it. Elliot is one of those kids you’re happy we have NIL for and honestly a lot like sharife cooper, though I think Sharife was a little more confident. Elliot gets to play alongside one of the best shooters to play at Carolina in RJ Davis, to really show him what an elite level shooter looks like. Both him and Seth Trimble have the opportunity to use each off season to solely work on their shooting abilities, because the other parts of their game are solid. Elliot can do this while getting paid and not have to end up like Sharife. I also believe the fact that Hubert Davis and Marcus Paige (two of the best three point shooters in UNC history) can help him develop. But I completely agree in your assessments.

This is Really just UNC hate!!

Tbh refs be doing him dirty

He is no where near overrated.

All these under size guards are flourishing in college but they will have no chance in the nba . I see why a lot of players are going str8 to the g league instead of college

You make great points about his deficiencies, but you’re pretty much trashing him because of his high school rating. This take would play a little better if you waited a year to see if he improved or not, but you didn’t so…😑

you all acting like he cant shoot

just wait lmfao

stop glazing lil bro

Itss clear hes there because of politics

i think this is why north carolina going to be the 2-15 upset in the first round of the tournament

He just turned 19. He should be in HS. Give him time. You sir are a fool

That’s terrible shooting omg

He definitely lose his confidence 😭

Overrated… too small can’t shoot. Not an NBA player but will be very good college player

hes like dis because he was a 6’0 pg in hs relying on his tiny bit of athleticism n passing 🫵🤣
