Dwayne Wade is better than Clyde Drexler by virtually every possible measurement. It really isnt that close.

Iverson is such a different type of player as he later in his career was more of a shoot first PG. The issue with Iverson versus Wade is that Iverson took so many bad shots, took way too many 3 point shots despite rarely making much above 30% of them and gambled all the time on defense which helped get him a lot of steals but also left him out of position plus he was really too small to guard other SG's which of course has to be a big mark against him.

In virtually any scenario where you are starting a team and choosing a SG other than Jordan, Kobe or West I can't think of anyone who wouldn't take an in his prime Wade over an in his prime Iverson. He is just a better player than Iverson.
