dude draws contact 95% of the time he gets to the rim. once he gets stronger i think he'll resemble d-wade a little.

Obviously a VERY longshot to be as good, but I think that's a perfect comparison.

Wade has freaky long arms though. Rivers' arms are "normal" for a guy his size.

They're basically the exact same height but Wade's wingspan is 3" longer and his reach is 6" longer.

Wade also attacks the rim looking for dunks and adjusts for a layup if he has to. Rivers almost attacks the rim with sideways with his back turned to the rim, no even looking to dunk.
