Cav Cave...
By the Numbers
Cavs outscored opponents by 7.2 points per 100 possessions with Wade on the floor (85th percentile).
Opponent's effective field goal percentage dropped by 3.8% when Wade played (94th percentile).
State of Play
Wade's defensive metrics place him among the league's top defenders.
He recorded a defensive estimated plus/minus of +2.4, ranking him in the 96th percentile.
I read that Wade is very skilled offensively and has shown flashes of it, but he is reluctant to shoot; maybe if he doesn't think he will get canned he may feel more comfortable shooting. Kind of a head issue.
Wade's biggest challenge is staying healthy especially at the most important times of the season.
