Dion Waiters

When I look at Dion Waiters, I see a player whose talent always seemed to run ahead of the noise around him. Taken fourth overall out of Syracuse in 2012, he had the swagger and shot-making to be a scoring guard the league dreams about, and I think that's exactly why his eight NBA seasons feel a little bittersweet. The fearlessness that made him fun to watch could also work against him. What stays with me is the confidence: a kid from Philadelphia who genuinely believed he could take, and make, the biggest shot in the building. That self-belief is rarer than it looks.
