For some reason, Dion Waiters ended up really shiny in all my candidate thumbnail images. That’s how they came, no Photoshopping was involved. Was there something wrong with the baseline camera? He was, like, glowing with sweat. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is usually the shiniest guy on any given night, but D-Wait takes the cake with this radiant performance.
D-Wait also had a good traditional basketball performance, until you realize that he had 24 points in the first half and ended up with only 29. According to my rulebook, 24 points in the first half means at least 40 for the game. Every time. You don’t reach 40, it means you suck or, worse, gave up on your teammates.
So which one is it for Waiters? Does his suck, or did he give up on his teammates? I haven’t watched the entire of the game yet, so I can’t say. It’ll be a while before I get to it, too, so stay tuned to this description and I’ll give my final verdict on the state of Dion Waiters in about a month. Maybe sooner, so be sure to check every day.
