Article on how Dwayne Wade creates space despite not being a 3 point shooter.

This seems potentially applicable to Tyreke. Can anyone with ESPN Insider see if they mention him?

As illustrated above, Wade converted 0.2 3-pointers every 36 minutes on the court last season, which is remarkably low for someone ranked in the top 25 of respect rating. On average, the other 24 players made far more trifectas than Wade, about 2.2 3s every 36 minutes. Wade was unique in this sense. In fact, no wing player with fewer than 0.5 3-pointers every 36 minutes even cracked the top 100 in respect rating. Tyreke Evans, Shaun Livingston and Tony Allen? All nowhere near the upper echelon.

There is both the law of gravity and the theory of gravity.

The law explains that when you drop something it falls to the ground. The theory explains WHY.

It's mostly about how Wade is the exception to the rule that floor spacers are great shooters. The article attributes his success to being the league's elite off-ball cutter. He's scored significantly more than anyone off cuts, so defenses now have to stay glued to him.

This is a follow up from Pelton. No insider but this blurb is interesting to say the least.

Carter-Williams exemplifies one truism proven out by SportVU data: When it comes to spacing, taking 3s is more important than whether they go in.
