Better finisher at the rim..Wade vs Kyrie?

[leMVP]

Who's better?

Both have the ability to break down the defenses and finish in the traffic..Wade was more athletic while Kyrie is the craftier one.

Prime/Peak or Currently?

Prime/Peak ofc...Currently Wade can't even jump

considering we haven't seen Kyrie's peak yet.

Kyrie shoots around 60% at rim on a year-to-year basis
Wade is around 67% every season with a 75% season high

We can simply look at the shot charts and it shows Wade by a decent margin. Actually surprised Kyrie's finishing last year %s wise wasn't that elite.

Beat me to it

I'll say they're almost on the same level of actually finishing the shot. Wade just gets assisted on more of his at-rim shots because of his cutting ability. His ability to draw fouls helps too. In the end, Wade's just more efficient because he has better IQ. Kyrie forces more. They're both elite.

You have to remember that you're comparing a below-the-rim PG to an above-the-rim SG. It is no coincidence that bigger players generally have higher efficiency closer to the basket when compared to little guys. Wade isn't exactly Shaq, but he can still get up when he needs to. Kyrie tends to be on the perimeter when he starts to break down defenses, not working off the ball resulting in wide open oops, back-cuts, etc.

Wade also likes to leak out and I'd bet he finishes in transition far more than Kyrie. That "leak out" finisher on the Cavs tends to be LeBron.

Totally agree, that's why the comparison is stupid.

While I say Wade was better at his Peak, Kyrie is still getting there and I actually enjoy watching Kyrie drive more than Wade, he's just so crafty and it's almost unbelievable the shots that he's able to get to go down with all those defenders draped over him. If I had to choose a slasher for my team though (based on that and nothing else), I'd have to go with Dwyane Wade

Ummmm, no. That's my answer, just no.

Wade. His glass work wasn't as pretty as Kyrie's but it's more effective. Wade could get over and through defenders, Kyrie mainly(not always) goes around them and gets his spot on the backboard.

Kyrie is amazing to watch though. Last night he made a wide-open layup and got oo's and ah's because he unnecessarily spun it high off the glass, lol.

Wade prime. Maybe kyrie is better now, but I would have to check
