Dwyane Wade Profile

Wade is a scorer at the offensive end, using his explosiveness to get to the basket and often score over defenders who still have a chance to stop him once he’s past the perimeter defenders. He’s great in transition and will get his share of baskets there, with the weakest part of his game being his jump shot. To his credit, he doesn’t take many long range shots, and he has been streaky when he has taken several in a game. He rebounds well for the guard position and for his size, and plays good defense all the way.

Wade projects as a mid-lottery pick. With some improvement on his jump shot, he could be a big scorer for a long time, as teams will then have to respect that and open up his bread and butter game going to the basket.
