Dion Waiters 2018-19 Player Outlook
6 years agoMiami Heat shooting guard Dion Waiters has had two injury-filled seasons in the Magic City and his return for opening night remains in doubt. Waiters was ruled out for 8-10 months in January following ankle surgery, so he's near the end of his recovery period, but the doctors have yet to clear him for basketball activities, which is obviously a worry with just four weeks to go until the start of the season. It's a further hit to Waiters' fantasy stock, as he had an ugly season last year, shooting less than 40 percent from the field and just 30.6 percent from deep. All the injuries he's gone through -- Waiters has played just 76 regular season games over the last two years -- have really stalled his development and as a soon-to-be 27-year-old he's not that young anymore. Dwyane Wade has signed up for another year as well, so Waiters should be drafted only if you like to live on the edge.
