Dion Waiters, the former No. 4 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, is
making headlines as he expresses a clear desire to return to the
league, insisting he still has what it takes to contribute.
 
Speaking with Scoop B, the 32-year-old guard

Waiters, who last appeared with the Los Angeles Lakers during
their 2020 championship run, boasts career averages of 13.1 points,
2.8 assists, and 2.3 rebounds per game, with a career-high season
in 2016-17 with the Miami Heat, where he averaged 15.8 points, 4.3
assists, and shot 39.5% from beyond the arc. His career has seen
notable highs, including big-game performances with the Cleveland
Cavaliers, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Miami Heat.

Though he’s been out of the league since 2020, Waiters remains
determined to prove he can make an impact, especially as a bench
scorer with a reputation for clutch performances. His shooting and
scoring skills could attract teams looking for veteran depth as the
season progresses.
