A six-pack of notes after the Heat’s acquisition of Dwyane Wade:
• Not, this isn’t the in-his-prime Dwyane Wade, not the one who played at an All-Star level, of course.
But this is still an effective player. If you project Wade’s 2016-17 numbers over a full 48 minutes, he ranks 20th among all NBA shooting guards in points per 48 minutes at 23.0, ahead of a bunch of NBA starters, including Jaylen Brown, Avery Bradley, Courtney Lee, Kontavious Caldwell Pope, Nic Batum and JR Smith.
Always one of the NBA’s most efficient shooting guards, Wade is shooting 45.
