Dion Waiters doesn't expect role on Cavs to change

Last season the vast majority of the Cleveland Cavaliers offense came from either Kyrie Irving or Dion Waiters.

That of course will change this year thanks to the additions of both LeBron James and Kevin Love, though Dion Waiters still believes he’ll be a big part of the Cavs’ offense. In fact, the shooting guard doesn’t expect much to change at all, including his role as he told Cleveland.com.

“I’ve been able to play my game. I’ve been able to attack when I want to, shoot when I want to shoot. So, nothing has really changed. We’ve been jelling well because everybody knows their roles. As long as we take care of what we need to take care of we’ll be fine.”

One would assume that Dion Waiters would likely have to scale back not only his desire to score but also his desire to have the ball in his hand given the additions to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the shooting guard doesn’t see things that way.

How that will translate on the court is unknown, though if there is a silver lining it’s that the additions of LeBron James and Kevin Love will certainly make life much easier for the 22-year-old. No longer will Dion Waiters be facing one of the oppositions tougher defenders as they’ll be latched on to James or Kyrie Irving and his game should benefit from such.

If Dion Waiters proves that he can hit from the outside consistently he should be one of a growing list who’ve seen their game become much more efficient when teamed with LeBron James.

He’s still going to need to scale back his desire to score a bit, but it should all be worth it in the end.
