I think he can grow into that at the next level, especially if he develops the mid range jump shot.
 
Funny you mention Wade - I had a friend who hasn't seen OU play in forever say the same thing while watching the game on tv. Have to say the way they attack the rim they look very similar. Obviously differences to their game (namely jumper) but the way they attack the rim both are very elusive and wirey in getting around guys and making space.
 
Buddy is a better shooter than either of these guys. Wade was the best defender by far. Buddy and Wade both great rebounders. They all take it to the rack pretty well.

I just think Buddy *looks* like Wade when he takes it to the hole.
 
He's a poor man's Harden. He still needs to work on his handles, but the fact that he has become a lights out 3 point shooter guarantees that he'll be a valuable NBA contributor, and probably a really good player. I don't think the Wade comparison is a good one because he doesn't have that freakish athletic ability that prime D-Wade had.
