Matt Dade is a 6’6″ American wing-forward known for his elite athleticism, high energy, and strong two-way presence. With a 43-inch vertical leap, he’s an explosive finisher at the rim and a dynamic presence in transition. A standout at Millersville University, he earned All-PSAC East First Team honors in both 2023 and 2024 and was selected to the NCAA Division II All-Star Game. Offensively, he brings scoring versatility—able to attack off the dribble, finish through contact, and stretch the floor with a reliable outside shot. Defensively, he combines strength and quickness to guard multiple positions, rebound effectively, and bring physicality on every possession. In his rookie pro season, he was named Player of the Month in Argentina and earned All-Second Team honors in Finland’s 1st Division. Dade’s blend of athletic tools, skill, and relentless energy makes him a high-impact, adaptable forward at the professional level.
