I know you cant predict these types of things so early in a players career but I decided to post it anyway.Where do you see Wade ranking when his career is over? Top 10? Top 15?He is one of the best all around players in the league. If he develops a jump shot he could go down as one of the greatest.
I'm saying top 50, assuming he doesn't get a bad injury or anything like that. If he continues to improve then I see him being a great player
Wade will end up being one of the top 75 greatest players of all time. I love how he plays the game. I expect him to get a title soon.You can never know exactly how his future will turn out, but Top 20 are you kidding me? I will name 20 more deserving players right now.1. MJ2. Magic3. Wilt4. Russell5. Larry Bird6. Kobe7. LBJ8. Tim Duncan9. Karl Malone10. Charles Barkley11. Isiah Thomas12. Shaq13. Hakeem Olajuwon14. Pippen15. Elgin Baylor16. Kareem Abdul Jabber17. Jerry West18. John Havlicek19. Dr. J20. Moses Malone
He's 23 and has put up some of the most amazing games i've ever seen, definatly a top 50 player barring injury.
He definitely has the ability to develop into a top 50. Obviously though he's still very young so only time will tell.

Exactly...besides, can we let the kid prove something first, before we talk about how great he is.I mean he's been to the East Finals once...and that's it.If he makes it there agian, and puts up an amazing performance like he did last year, than I'll be willing to talk about him in this manner.

He obviously has alot of skill. Outside of maybe Tony Parker, he is probably the best driver and the quickest player in the NBA. I see him as a winner so if he can win like 2 or 3 rings and develop a jumps shot he should be very well off. Its hard to say right now though.
Top 30. He will also go down as one of the most underrated players of all time. If he can improve his defense, he will be almost a carbon copy of MJ, pre-first retirement. He is very solid midrange game, best slasher in league, great playmaker, very good rebounder, and very agressive with lots of heart. Also, clutch as almost anyone else in league.
I think that it really depends on how many rings he gets. If you look at alot of the best considered players of all times, they all have rings. Not all of them but a good majority of them. If he steadily improves for the next few years and nets 3 or more championships in his career i could see him being considred top 30-40 or so. Its really hard to tell; there are just so many good players that you have to consider.
