NBA Claws. Please stay Dean. Please Pleeeeeease

Weber says he will sit down with Wade and discuss the topic after the season.

“He is going to be an NBA player, whether it is this next year or the year after, he is going to have a chance,” Weber said. “… It’s not just about going to the NBA, it’s about being ready to go to the NBA and being ready to stay in the NBA.”

He should test the waters and if he can get drafted in the 1st round he should absolutely consider going.

He should get graded out but I think he should probably come back unless he thinks the G-League will develop him better than K-State will.

Guys, if we keep this team together next year.... it will end up being one of the best teams K-State has ever had... maybe as amazing as the 2009-2010 team.... I hate Oscar, but damnit I just want something good for a change!

He definitely seems skilled enough to go but I can't think of any similar players in the league off the top of my head. I've also never really followed the NBA draft. In a way he seems like a poor man's Beasley that's stuck between a 3 and a 4 and struggles to guard either.

he definitely has the offensive skill, it's just a question of who he can guard.

He should be adequate enough to guard fellow backup 4s.

turner is a five...less skilled than wade, but longer and much better rim protector

Dean's game is actually pretty similar to the McMorris twins imo

I don't know about less skilled but definitely a better shot blocker. I was going to go with Jokic without the passing stuff but I didn't want to go white guy white guy.

Also someone earlier wondered if he's a 3/4 tweener, he's definitely an NBA 4.

I wonder how accurate Wade's listed height and weight are because he looks much more frail than a guy like Kuzma who's listed at 6-9 220

his weight and height look right.  it's just a shame he's got those short arms.

He doesn't look frail at all to me.

Also doing this exercise has led me to believe that comparing modern NBA power forwards might be the toughest position to compare, I don't know if any of these dudes are alike. Every one of them is a different combination of all of the sliders on 2K. They all have to be able to shoot the 3, dribble, rebound, pass, rim-run, hit midrange jumpers, and play with their backs to the basket for a possession or two.

yeah, going down the list of nba pfs, it's not easy to find many good comparisons...
sabonis (not really)
lyles (maybe closest)
james johnson (not really)

Wade's nowhere near as strong as most NBA 4's. At least he doesn't look like it.

i watch a lot of turner and--other than his shooting--he is remarkably unskilled
