Number 2:

Dwyane Wade

                            4.7 APG
                            4.5 RPG

Whenever I think of a well rounded player in the NBA,  one name that pops up a lot is Dwyane Wade. Wade throughout his career has always been someone who does everything well and with consistency. Wade might be getting old and his knees are giving out, but he can still fill up the stat sheet better than most. Wade is definitely the most physical SG in the league, seen while he is backing down in the post, the relentless perimeter defense, his effort on the boards. Wade uses his athleticism and tight handles to cross up defenders, and then finish over rim protectors or go for a gritty layup. Wade has a sweet midrange jumper, and an even sweeter turnaround jumper in his arsenal. Wade isn't selfish either. When Wade sees an open man on the perimeter or on the cut to the hoop, he isn't hesitant to pass the rock. On the other end of the court, Wade plays a tough brand of defense in the post and on the perimeter. Wade is hounds and harasses his match up, and he used his quick hands to steal the ball at a good rate last season with 1.5 per game. Quite honestly the only things holding Wade from the number 1 spot are his knee problems, and poor perimeter shooting. I am quite hopeful Wade will step up his play with LBJ's departure to Cleveland,  maybe we'll see MVP Wade again?
