• One of ESPN’s lead prep basketball scouts walks through the Cade Cunningham vs. Luke Doncic comparison and honed in on one key similarity: clutch shooting.

… (O)ne thing that Luka naysayers didn’t fully account for was his history of clutch moments. In a skill-based NBA, having the confidence to take and make step-back late-clock 3s is imperative for elite closers. Watching Cunningham live against TCU, Texas and in practice settings, it’s clear he has that. He’s calm on the court, rarely changing face in even the most tense moments, which should bode well for his NBA future.

Cunningham has two home games remaining. Two more chances for handfuls of fans to watch him in person. That’s all.
