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.

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
Title: Re: NBA Claws. Please stay Dean. Please Pleeeeeease
Post by: sys on March 04, 2018, 02:24:29 PM
his weight and height look right.  it's just a shame he's got those short arms.
Title: Re: NBA Claws. Please stay Dean. Please Pleeeeeease
Post by: MakeItRain on March 04, 2018, 03:25:08 PM
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.

i agree he's def a 4 in today's nba...
i don't see the morris comparison tho...wade is a better shooter but nowhere near as strong...for some reason i really hate the celtics morris' game too..

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

Well, if he does go, we're probably relegated to bubble team v3.0. Next year we legitimately do have a chance to have a decent seed in the tourney. If Wade goes though, I just don't see it.

Those mocks haven't caught up yet. I have read a couple of scouting reports that have him as a second rounder. WHEN he submits his name he's going to get, at least, a second round grade, unless he gets hurt. If he continues to play, the way he has, his stock is going to shoot up. He hasn't played in games heavily scouted, there aren't many NBA prospects in conference this year.

How much could a potential great run (Sweet 16) led by Wade bump him in the draft? Does a run like that help a guy much? I honestly don't know, I don't follow the NBA or the draft closely.

I think it certainly does help, though to what degree I'm not sure.  More than anything I think it puts a spotlight on certain guys that maybe haven't had much attention.  A guy like Dean could probably benefit quite a bit from a nice run.

Here's a pretty good article with recent examples and thoughts from a couple of scouts.

It helps in terms of they're seen more. It's not unusual for a player to make a meteoric rise, after a tournament run, like it is with coaches. All it takes is for one or two scouts to be bullish on a player to give him a push. Patrick O'Bryant and Harold Arceneaux are two who stand out.

Arceneaux "The Show" remember that guy from Weber State who went off against UNC back in the day and upset them? I think it was a 3-14 game, anyway dude went off, had like 38 or 39. Everyone thought he was going to declare, he didn't because he didn't get a lottery grade but he was going to get drafted. He came back and Weber State had a shitty year and he didn't get drafted.

O'Bryant was Curryesque in which he had back to back good tournament showings, but Patty's was as a sophomore and junior. He did declare and was a top 10 pick but was never good in the NBA, I'm not sure he started one single game. He's now in China or something.

I think NBA scouting for most teams has gotten so much more analytics driven over the last 5+ years that you don't see tournament performance impacting as much as you used to.

he needs to shoot much, much better.  but his shot looks pretty as hell even though it seldom goes in, and his ft% would indicate (barely) that he might be capable of improvement.  might be a guy that could spend a few years in europe learning to shoot and then find a spot.
