Dean Wade

Dean Wade is the kind of player I quietly root for. Standing 206 cm yet able to shoot from outside and defend multiple positions, he embodies the modern, versatile big man the NBA now prizes. From Wichita to Kansas State to the Cleveland Cavaliers and now the Philadelphia 76ers, he earned his place the hard way, without the hype that surrounds lottery picks. I value that role-player grit, the willingness to do the unglamorous work a team actually needs. Born in 1996, he is hitting his prime, and there is something genuinely likable about a Midwestern kid grinding it out at the highest level.
