Lilliard also was the primary point guard (6 assists) and played more per game, shot better from 3 pt range, and was consistent. AND EVERYONE SAYS HIS SHOOTING NEEDS TO IMPROVE. but waiters is a "playmaker." Oh, and lilliard was picked later, is on an equally shitty squad, and was a primary scorer for his team (roughly 50% more shots).

yes! please. that's a terrible argument. that's the type of shit that makes him never actually change his game to fit the reality that he's not good enough to Dwayne Wade it and bull to the rim. but yeah, he's a "playmaker." Please, point to other playmakers who have shot 42% for their season and been deemed "good."

the acceptable plea cop for his BAD shooting (seriously. 42% is bad. there's no denying it), is that other teams didn't have to guard anyone on that shitty squad. except they did once kyrie was playing and...42%.

waiters was a net negative in 82games' simple rating, was -4.2 points while on the floor per 48. he's not good. if the #4 pick in the draft is already being described as best fitting as a sixth man...LOL.
