Dean Wade has already cracked Kansas State’s starting lineup, established himself as a dependable scorer and made a game-winning shot.
Growing up in tiny St. John, some thought he would need time to adjust to life in the Big 12, but the freshman forward was clearly prepared for the transition. Wade is averaging 10.8 points and six rebounds. He has twice scored 17 points.
By all accounts, the first 16 games of his college basketball career have been a success. Still, there are times when Wade feels like he isn’t doing enough, and everyone around him is demanding more.
