ESPN’s Chris Herring dove deeper into what made Wade work so well with LeBron for FiveThirtyEight and found that Wade was far more active off the ball in his seasons with LeBron. As Herring notes, the percentage of Wade’s offense that came from cuts to the basket more than doubled in his time with LeBron, as compared to the years he’s played without James (via Synergy).
As Herring notes, in the four years Wade played with LeBron the percentage of his offense via cuts was 6.5, 8.6, 11.4, and 9.4. In no season before or since has that percentage been higher than 5. Not only was Wade more active off of the ball, but he became a far better spot-up shooter in the corners after James signed in Miami.
Per Herring, Wade has shot 38 percent on corner threes in the seven seasons since James arrived in Miami, a significant upgrade over his 27 percent clip in the years prior to LeBron’s arrival. Wade had always been a ball dominant player, but playing with James forced him to learn to work more off the ball. In Cleveland, he will get plenty of chances on the ball until Isaiah Thomas returns, but if he can hit the corner three — something the Cavs took far more of last year than any other team — then he might fit into this offense better than originally anticipated, based off his relatively poor perimeter shooting from above the break.
