3. Dion Waiters, Cleveland Cavaliers
Something’s changed about the cavaliers. Oh wait, it’s lady luck! She has finally smiled upon them. In 2011, they struck gold when they drafted Kyrie Irving.
Last season, they found the ideal player to complement Irving and drafted Dion Waiters. The Cavs finally have something which they never had in the post LeBron era: Hope.

Waiters sported decent numbers for a rookie: 14.7 PPG, 3 APG, 2.4 RPG and 1 SPG. While he’s no Irving, Waiters did show flashes (more like streaks) of brilliance last season. He carried the offence when Irving was injured.

Waiters has speed, a good vertical, solid shooting skills and is pretty dangerous when he drives to the rim. He reminds me of a young J.R. Smith.
Like all the players on this list, he has immense potential. However, this guy might be the one to develop the most because he and Irving have already formed one the most lethal young 1-2 punches in the league. If injury free, Waiters is a dangerous player to have as your opponent.
