According to cleaningtheglass.com, Wade is in the 88th percentile in points per shot attempt among NBA forwards. He doesn't shoot much but when he does he's very productive. He's also in the 88th percentile in turnover rate - he does a great job at protecting the ball. And he's in the 67th percentile in assists per usage rate, so he's a good passer, too.
He's in the 93rd percentile among forwards in effective field goal percentage at 60.1%. (Note: The web site sees a difference between "forwards" and "wings". Wade and Osman are forwards; Okoro, Stevens, and Windler are "wings". Nance and Allen are "bigs". (Nance should be a forward, IMO).
They have Wade in the 100th percentile (top 1% in the league) in the 4'-14' range. He's hitting 83% of those shots. IMO, he should get into the paint as much as possible and take more of those shots. He's trying to be a "3 and D" guy, but he's actually better at the short mid-range shots.
Duncan Robinson of the Heat, who the Cavs play tonight, is a player I can see as a model for Wade to shoot for. Robinson didn't get any playing time until last year when he was 25 (Wade is almost 24). Robinson is smaller (6'7", 215) but has a similar game. He's shooting 42.1% on 3's so far in his career.
