Zaire Wade is a 6’3″ shooting guard who had been considered a three-star recruit in the class of 2021. He had been eyed as a recruit by the likes of Nebraska, South Carolina, Rhode Island, and Toledo. Instead, he is opting to skip that route to try to break in with the Jazz.
The 19-year-old is Dwyane Wade’s son with ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches. At least from now on, if the elder Wade has an issue with whoever’s coaching his son, he’ll probably be able to do something about it.
