of Iowa City Regina played like it. With offers from Drake and Northern Iowa, Wade is a play-making forward on the rise, and he showed why in Des Moines.
As stated when naming my First-Team All-Expo, “Once the five-on-five portion began, it was like a switch flipped for the sophomore forward. With the ball in his hands, Wade immediately became much more aggressive in the half court, putting the ball on the floor and attacking the basket. A much better ball-handler than I anticipated, Wade used it to his advantage. Additionally, he’s got a smooth stroke from three, and if he continues to hone his handles and become a creator, he could receive many more offers than just the in-state mid-majors.
A big that isn’t hampered in transition, Wade got out in front of the break with regularity and threw down some super athletic dunks, including a 360 slam early on in the day. As a help defender, he’s good at keeping an eye on the ball-handler, stepping off his assignment and swatting away shots near the cup.”
