Cade Klubnik Scouting Report

Cade Klubnik is a potent and electric passer with great upside if he can become more reliable and consistent.

Draft Grade: Round 3 - Adequate Starter

Strengths:

Elite Natural Arm: Klubnik possesses rare natural ability to produce velocity, touch, and accuracy solely from his arm. It allows him to make off-platform passes look easy. Can make every throw.

Toughness: Doesn’t get rattled by big hits and shows real fight when the game gets tough. Has a senseless desire to compete.

Electric Speed: Very difficult to account for when you give him an open lane. Lacks some fluidity, but will beat you in a foot race.

Can Heat Up: When things start clicking, Klubnik can get clinical and potent quickly. When he’s confident and playing with calm feet, he can really deal.

Concerns:

Consistency: There are lots of highs and lows when going through Klubnik's full body of work. I want to see more neutrality from his game throughout a season. 

Footwork: Doesn’t consistently show strong footwork in the pocket or to set up throws. He’s all arm too often.

Composure: Gets squirrly in the pocket and panics when he senses pressure—leads to disaster.
