Should Cadeau Sit

Season is over, why sit him. I am hoping he enters the portal and is gone.
I really don't care which sits and which begins the game but 1 of either Cadeau or RJ needs to come off the bench. Together our back court is tiny and yet our front court is also to small. We simply need more size to matchup as much as we can. Their time on court should be very limited when they are both in together.
He seems to be more of a head case than a fluid, low-maintenance PG with intuitive skills and laid back attitude.
I think the team would be better if Rj sat, but we know that’s not going to happen. Rj is the same guard who dribbles down one side of the court and does a reverse spin dribble. I think putting Elliott with Ian, drake, withers and Washington is a top 16 lineup.
I think a top 16 starting lineup is a pretty big exaggeration. The difference between this team being a borderline second weekend NCAA Tournament vs like the 40th best team in the country isn't a simple lineup change. The difference is wholesale changes.
I mean, Cadeau is the same guard who fouls at an alarming rate, can be turnover prone (although we're getting to the "was this turnover Cadeau's fault or not game that we do for bad NFL QBs), and is unreliable from the FT line. For me, the better question is should Cadeau be in the closing lineup of games where possessions and free throw shooting become critical?
There's no lineup combination on this team that makes it a top 16 team because the players aren't good enough. Think Cadeau is an upper echelon PG in the country? No. Ian's certainly talented but just went through a month stretch where he scored like 20 total points. Drake Powell is talented but that's it right now. And a Withers/Washington front line is probably a really inconsistent front line because they've been inconsistent players their entire college careers.
He was the starting PG on a team that won the ACC and got a #1 seed. And somehow we have fans that want him gone as a sophomore?
I personally want to see him throwing lobs to Caleb Wilson.

Depends on who the other 3 are. If it’s Seth, Powell, upgraded 5 I think the PG needs to be upgraded to a scorer and plus shooter.
I’m just going to guess Wilson is a downgrade from Ingram. So can they add talent to replicate last season’s team? A lot of work to do.
If it’s Cadeau-Seth-Powell-Wilson-Upgraded 5… there’s a ceiling to that team. They might be better than this seasons team. But I don’t think you can win in today’s basketball with 2 unwilling shooters in the backcourt.
Specifically for Cadeau, it obviously depends who would replace him. He isn’t irreplaceable.
Agreed, but more importantly, this team needs to hit the HC portal and pay up no way around it.
Couldn’t disagree more. He is on a dysfunctional team that lacks sufficiently talented bigs and is coached poorly by nice man who is in over his head. For all practical purposes, this season is over and has been for a while. I hate it but there it is .
I slightly prefer Cadeau to start and RJ come off the bench but so much that I would get all bent if Cadeau sat and RJ started at the point. With Cadeau for me his main problem is a severe lack of maturity. He has fantastic PG skills but his play is not mature to the point that he understands how to mesh his skills with his team mates. For example, he will force a tough pass in to Lubin, that maybe Drake could snag but not Lubin. It may have been a great pass had he passed it to a guy that could catch it but a lack of maturity does not seem to tell him, nope, can't throw that to Lubin, for example.
Cadeau isn't doing as much of the child like arguments with the refs as he did last season but he still gives worthless fouls that limit him and he is slow to show the overall savoy you need from your PG, he should be further along than this by now?. I get the sense that the kid has been able to get away with just being so utterly talented that he really didn't have to work much on refining his skill and now that he has to it isn't coming as easy as you would think.l He seems to have some really bad habits that are so ingrained, that he falls back to when things get hard, just can't seem to do away with them?
Something in my gut says he’s going to hit transfer portal after season
I think he’s got the tools, they just need to be honed a bit. Regardless of who plays with who, or who sits, we need he and RJ to play and play well in order to do anything that resembles winning. Jmo
