2012 NBA Draft Results: Dion Waiters Selected By Cavaliers With No. 4 Pick

Waiters quickly rose up the charts as the draft season began, and a reported promise from a lottery team after Day 1 of the Chicago combine was the most important topic that followed the Orange guard through June. Waiters is an efficient scorer, but really triumphed in transition (which may be harder to come by in the NBA). He’s also not a distributor and stands at 6-foot-4, so he’ll be limited to shooting guard exclusively. If his offense is good enough to get him a featured role, he could be a steals leader down the road; his ball-hawking instincts are tremendous, though it’s always hard to tell what’s real when it comes to Syracuse’s defense.
