Wade signed a Two-Way contract with Cleveland on July 9, 2019, which allowed him to spend time with both the Cavaliers as well as their G-League affiliate, the Canton (Ohio) Charge, during the 2019-20 season. He appeared in 12 games for the Cavaliers, averaging 1.7 points on 69.2 percent (9-of-13) shooting, including 50 percent (2-of-5) from 3-point range, with 1.6 rebounds and 0.2 assists in 5.9 minutes per game. He made his NBA debut against the New York Knicks on November 18, playing 9 minutes. His best game against the L.A. Clippers on January 14, collecting season-highs in points (6), rebounds (8) and blocks (3) in 14 minutes.
Wade spent most of his time with the Charge, which posted the second-best mark (29-14) in the Eastern Division of the G-League before the season was canceled due to COV-19. Wade played in 30 games with 29 starts, averaging 14.2 points on 46.1 percent (148-of-321) shooting, including 39.9 percent (55-of-135) from 3-point range, with 7.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 blocks in 31.1 minutes per game. He led the team in 3-point field goal percentage and rebounding, while he was fourth in scoring. He also posted the third-best plus/minus rating at 4.6. He recorded 23 points and 20 rebounds in his first game against the Lakeland Magic on November 9.
"Dean came to us highly skilled and established himself in Canton from the start with a 23-point, 20-rebound debut," said Charge Head Coach Nate Reinking. "Through his work ethic and continued development, his comfort level and consistent high level of play at multiple positions was special to watch throughout the season."
Wade is the first Wildcat to play with Cleveland since Chuckie Williams was drafted with the 15th selection in the first round of the 1976 NBA Draft. He played in 22 games for the Cavaliers during the 1976-77 season.
One of the more versatile players in school history, Wade is one of just three Wildcats (Bob Boozer and Rodney McGruder) to rank in the Top 10 in both career scoring (1,510/10th) and rebounding (685/8th), while he was the first player in school history to tally at least 1,000 points, 100 3-point field goals, 500 rebounds, 200 assists and 100 steals in a career. He finished among the career Top 10 in several categories, including scoring, rebounding, double-digit scoring games (81/7th), field goals made (548/8th) and starts (123/2nd).
In his 126-game career, Wade averaged 12 points on 49.8 percent shooting (548-of-1100), including 38.6 percent (128-of-332) from 3-point range, with 5.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.9 steals in 29.3 minutes per game. He averaged 12.9 points on 49.2 percent shooting (122-of-248), including 41.8 percent (23-of-55) from 3-point range, with 6.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 30.4 minutes per game as a senior in 2018-19.
Wade, along with Jacob Pullen, are the only Wildcats in the Big 12 era to be selected All-Big 12 First Team in back-to-back seasons and one of just five to ever earn recognition to the Coaches' All-Big 12 First Team.
Wade was part of a senior class that posted an 88-51 (.633) overall record, advanced to three NCAA Tournaments and won a share of the 2018-19 Big 12 regular season title.
