Re: Welcome Dion Waiters
From what I've seen, Waiters has shown ability to get to the rim and a lot better understanding of how to make plays for others than I originally thought he had. He's just out of shape and in a shooting slump, so it's easy for the people who were already wary of the pick to pile on and overreact after a few meaningless games.
Ultimately, this summer league does not matter at all. It means nothing, and people who have tried to use it as a tool to predict the future have come out looking stupid more often than not. I'm still super excited about Waiters as an NBA prospect and nothing that happens is going to change that until he proves over the course of a long time in the actual NBA that he can't play, which I don't forsee happening.
