Really? Stats to back up "overall" please? Because if there is something that can overcome his atrocious offensive game and piss poor attitude, I'd like to see it. You're the master at picking and choosing small sample sizes to fit whatever argument you're trying to make. I'd like to see what stats you can come up with that says "overall" Dion is an improved player.
it a bit harder to present the stats since the add on that worked perfectly well in beta was never put on the live sight but here are a few things

not sure how this will format when it post but it shows that overall Dion had +6.2 differential when defending. lower is better the differential is comparing the opponent players regular average to his average when playing Dion.
As you can see the last 6 games Dion has Been a big part and positive contributor to the teams defensive improvement
so improved defensively supported by stats.... Check

Dion has significantly cut down his shooting attempts afteer 7+ dribbles. He isnt holding on to the ball as long. He still needs to work on his decision making after 3-6 dribbles and you can tell he can be effective in that range based off last year but he isnt sinking the shot.
Last season 18 percent of his touches he held the ball more than 6 seconds.. this season its only 5% of the time he is holding on to the ball.
Dions assist Ration has increased to 21% for the season . last season it was around 15%
Dion has struggled on the road but has been pretty solid at home but in both his rookie and sophomore years he improved his production from the first half of the season to the 2nd.
