I think he means Love's archetype. Solid outside shooting for a big. Will fight for rebounds. White. I have a hard time imagining Wade producing Kevin Love's career averages (18-11) let alone his peak averages (25+, 15+). But it's not hard to imagine him being a better defender. Outside of one really meaningful stop against Steph Curry, Love isn't great in that regard.
I will say this about Wade...he shot 40, 44, and and 42 percent from 3 his last three years in college on 243 total attempts. Granted, Wade graduated the season before they moved the 3P line back to NBA distance, but he's shown an ability to hit those outside shots. He's a shooter.
The Cavs have nothing to lose by taking Wade aside and telling him that he will be playing 20+ mins a game the next 10 games. They're gonna suck regardless. The primary starter and backup are both hurt.
No matter how poorly he shoots, no matter how poorly he defends, let him know he will have time to work through it. I think he moves well on the floor and sees the floor well. Let's see if that shooting stroke comes around or if he's like most good college players who can't deal with NBA length and speed.
