If Waiters is nothing else, he’s aggressive. Like his former teammate, Wesbtrook, when he’s on the court, he never goes less than full speed.

“Dion is young, athletic and explosive, which fits in with our roster,” team president Pat Riley said after signing the 24-year-old. “He will add a great dimension for us at the off-guard spot. I really like the depth and versatility that we now have in our perimeter positions.”

The former first-round draft pick never passes up the opportunity to take tough shots or throw his body at defenders near the rim in order to score points. While he may not be the most efficient player on the court at any given time, his explosive, aggressive nature is certainly something to appreciate. He is not afraid of big moments or taking the last shot, either.
