Last season, Dean Wade was a bright spot for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and after being a two-way contributor as an undrafted rookie in 2019-20, when he played mostly with Cleveland’s G League affiliate, the Canton Charge (now Cleveland Charge) he got his chance in 2020-21.

Sure, injuries to the likes of Kevin Love and Larry Nance Jr. played into it, but Wade did a nice job in his rotational minutes.

He had 6.0 points and 3.4 rebounds in 19.
