Cade is a wing who brings a smooth three-point shot and the ability to attack the basket when lanes open up. His strength lies in being a lethal shooter from deep, but he’s added weapons to his game by developing as a slasher and finisher. With solid size for his class and a steady motor, Cade provides a versatile option on the wing who competes every possession and thrives in energized game environments.

Over the past year, Cade’s game has shifted from being primarily a spot-up threat to becoming more effective driving and finishing around the rim. His JV season included multiple double-digit scoring games with 15+ points, and he used AAU and summer ball to expand his offensive skill set. Focused on improving his shooting off the dribble and finishing in traffic, Cade feels prepared to carry those improvements onto the varsity floor this season. His goal is to help Wayne County make a push in the 12th Region tournament.

For Cade, the atmosphere fuels his fire, when gyms are loud and fans are locked in, he elevates his play. Off the court, he enjoys time with friends and watching both football and basketball. The best advice that keeps him grounded is, "Giving your best effort is always enough, but holding back not only cheats yourself, it cheats your team".

I assess that Cade’s shooting ability, along with a growing inside game, makes him a player who can fit into multiple offensive systems. Coaches can count on him for consistent effort, floor spacing, and a dependable wing presence that keeps defenses honest. His steady approach and willingness to expand his game suggest he can become a valuable piece at the next level.

Cade’s continued progress with his off-the-dribble shooting and interior scoring will shape his long-term ceiling. With his work ethic and continuing to build on the improvements he’s already made, expect him to evolve into a reliable two-way contributor who impacts both the stat sheet and the flow of the game.
