Oklahoma City Thunder: Discussing Dion Waiters

Dion Waiters came to town with a reputation for, among other things, jacking shots and dogging it on defense.

Here’s what we saw from Waiters this season and where we see him going forward.

What was Dion Waiters’ biggest contribution to the Thunder this season?
