The Cavs drafted Dion because they were worried about the fit with Lillard? Where did you read that?I hear what you’re saying, but there are two schools of thought to that. The Cavaliers passed up Damian Lillard for Dion Waiters in the 2012 draft because they already had Kyrie Irving and thought Waiters would be a better fit beside Kyrie. While Lillard has turned into a star in Portland, Waiters his floundered and is on his third NBA team.
The Cavs are early enough in this rebuild that they shouldn’t get too hung up on fit.
That would be idiotic because Dion was also a ball dominant combo guard that didn’t pass. Not comparable.
