Dean Wade

Went undrafted in 2019 and signed a two-way deal with Cleveland — he has since outperformed dozens of players drafted ahead of him.

Grew up in Sterling, Colorado, a small agricultural city of about 14,000 people — one of the smaller hometowns of any current NBA player.

Known for his film study habits — Wade is regularly among the last players to leave the practice facility after studying game footage.

Has played for the same franchise his entire NBA career, a rarity for an undrafted player in the modern game.
