NBA: The 10 smartest active players in the league

#9 Dwyane Wade

Charlotte Hornets v Miami Heat

Dwyane Wade, the Shooting Guard with great basketball I.Q. What else do you want from shooting guards? Wade is one of the best Shooting Guards in the NBA and one of the greatest to wear the Heat jersey, thanks to his smart instincts.

Wade's scoring ability, passing ability, and great court vision are very hard to find and he uses his smartness to get past the defender to either score at the rim or to pass the ball to an open teammate to shoot. He has been a student of this game from the very first time he stepped on the basketball court and has a great ability to understand the situation and act according to it.

Also, very few can match Wade's smartness on the court, whether it is on the offensive end to draw fouls with his pump fakes or on the defensive end, stealing the ball without fouling or drawing charges.

Wade has been doing this for many years and his basketball I.Q. is amazing. Now, his game is going to be very fun to watch as he is playing the last season of his NBA career which he calls "The Last Dance".
