    Dion is fitting perfectly. I wasn’t that familiar with his game so I was a little skeptical but wow! Great to have a guy who can score easily and also makes plays for his teammates. Big upgrade so far over Rondo.

    Highest +/- of the game.

    Waiters can just score at will. It's crazy to watch because he doesn't look like he should be able to do the things he can do getting to the rim

    Waiters serving people up... Too early? OK but seriously he can create off the dribble, get his own shot. Nice assist to Kuzma for the trey. At one point our bench outscored theirs by three. Crucial for our match up with them.

    I hate to say it but he was surprisingly good. He's gotten a lot better at finding open shooters off his drives if he can't finish. This was an issue in Cleveland as he's not a great leaper and he's gotten even fatter.

    Needs his minutes moved around a bit to maximize time with Lebron off the bench. That being said I hope he stays away from those pullup contested 3's off the dribble: he's got enough in his game that he's better off driving if the defender is that close

    Great game. Struggled from 3, but he was a difference maker tonight and in a big game..

    He always looks out of shape, but he's delivered so far. Really good at getting us buckets.

    I don't think he is out of shape, I think that's just how his physique looks. I'm telling you, he is build like a 1980's NBA player. AJ Pollock of the Dodgers has the quintessential 1980's baseball body type too.

    Yes, some bad looking threes but overall a huge difference maker off the bench with serious scoring punch. He delivered last night. Also he had some really strong defensive sequences which I wasn't expecting. Yes there were a few he missed, but overall he was better in that department than I thought he would be.

    Tremendous body control. He is always shielding and protecting the ball and getting extra space for the shot. I was actually expecting a lot and very happy to see it. He keeps his head on right he is going to make a big impact for years to come. The Lakers are just blessed that way. That sweet smell is a championship cooking.

    For players with this skill level it is all about motivation. Feeling appreciated and wanted goes along way. Knowing you have burned every other bridge you have ever crossed helps too...lol

    We prefer to say he has gotten even "thicker".
