It was a pleasure to see Dean Wade get his share of playing time with the Cleveland Cavaliers during this now-past season.

After the vast majority of his meaningful playing time was with Cleveland’s G League Affiliate squad, the Canton Charge, in 2019-20, when he was a two-way contributor, Wade got his chances in 2020-21. In 63 appearances (out of 70 possible), Wade averaged 19.2 minutes per contest, in which he had 6.0 points and 3.4 rebounds per outing.
