Wade only has one game, and that's all out going to the rim. If you aggressively defend the goal he'll either settle for jumpers, or bang himself up trying to get to the rim. Actually I think that if he doesn't develop a great outside shot soon (ala Jordan), his career will be pretty short. Guys who recklessly drive to the hole get injured a lot and their atheleticism slowly decreases as years go by. |
Agree. He isn't strong enough to finish if you can knock him off his stride - unlike LBJ. And he doesn't shoot as well from outside either, so don't give him any room outside and shove him around some when he breaks down the first defender. Course, there is that Shaq guy hanging out looking for those lobs.
