Dion Waiter 6th Man of the Year


         What did I tell you people? Dion Waiters coming off the bench is A great opportunity for him to win the 6th Man of the Year. I think he is willing to accept his new role on the Cavaliers as being the sixth man. This is what Dion had to say about him having the opportunity to win the sixth man of the year award, " I would be very grateful, thankful for the opportunity." Waiters told Northeast Ohio Media Group. " I've just got to keep doing what I'm doing. Hopefully we can keep wining and I'm able to walk away with it." "Im a leading scorer on the bench, I'm leading scorer in the starting five," he said with a dead serious expression on his face. "It doesn't matter. You know what I'm saying." Since taken out of the starting line up that included LeBron, Kyrie, Love, and Anderson, Dion has been averaging 12.2 points off the bench. That is 9th in the league of players who come off the bench. Currently Jamal Crawford who won he 2013-14 Sixth Man Award is in the lead with 19.0 points coming off the bench. Waiters I'm pretty sure in everyones eyes who watches the game of basketball has not matured enough to win the Sixth Man Award. If he wants to win the award this is where Waiters needs to take the time to listen and learn from his teammates. Waiters has a lot of confidence of winning this award, but it takes more than confidence. He is talking the talk, but he is not walking the walk. It is up to Dion to actually win this award if he wants to, but he needs to get rid of his cocky attitude and realize that he can not just talk, he has to prove himself in the league.
