Wade did avg a lot more points than winslow will but because he had a lot of play run up for him also. Wade was constantly attacking the rim, whereas Winslow hangs out more in the corner to not be in the way.
Winslow is a better creator than Wade was in his rookie season and seems a lot more fluid. You may recall Wade led the league a lot of times in turnover because he was forced to create a lot without a jumpshot.
Wade was able with time and dedication to create a half decent jumpshot, I have faith that Winslow will do the same.
I can't wait for two-three years from now when Winslow is our starting SF
CMon man, I am happy to have Winslow and im confident he will turn out to be a fine player. But it has nothing to do with what he asked to do. He is definitelly NOT a better creator than Wade when coming to the league LOL. If he could do what Wade could do when coming to the league they would ask him to do it. Wade was thrust into being the Heat starting Point Guard his rookie yr. As of right now he is not DWade at all. As of right now, my expectations is for him to become something like Caron Butler until he develops and show me something different.
I feel like Butler is more like a Paul Pierce type of forward. Winslow has some shiftiness like Harden and Wade--but he's bigger than those guys and isn't as explosive as Wade--it's hard to predict how good he'll be, but you'd like to think he'll be with Whiteside the cornerstone of a future contender. Or at least one of those teams like the pacers with George that annoys the crap out of whatever team the best player in the league is playing on at the time.
