for Orange HS this season. He’s averaging 12.6 PPG and 4.4 APG acting as the primary ball handler and initiator for this team. He sets his teammates up well, but he’s just as impressive creating for himself with the ball in his hands. With great lateral athleticism and an ability to quickly accelerate past defenders, it’s hard to keep Wade from attacking downhill and picking apart defenses.

Wade is a floor general to keep eyes on with Orange High. He didn’t look for his offense much on Day 2 but on Day 3, he was a lot more active on the scoring front, finishing with 16 points while showing he could knock down shots on the perimeter and off the bounce and get to the free-throw line. He went 5-for-7 from the line despite the result for the Panthers at the buzzer.
