Kansas State’s smooth-shooting, versatile forward with pro-level feel
In the 2018–19 season at Kansas State, Dean Wade averaged 12.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists while shooting 49.2% from the field and 41.8% from 3, a combo that shows why he was such a tough matchup: size, touch and passing in one package. He’s the kind of forward who fits modern basketball because he can space the floor, make smart reads and rebound without needing the offense built around him. The main concern was durability, as injuries interrupted parts of his college career, but when healthy he brought steady production and a high-IQ, low-drama game.
