Dion Waiters watched film recently and saw the same problem plenty have diagnosed him with for years. He's fading away on his jumper too much.
Not on his beloved stepback move or the contested stuff, when a fade becomes necessary for separation. But the wide-open, spot-up shots without a defender in his vicinity.
“I'm like, wow, you fading and you don't even have to fade,” Waiters said. “So I just told myself just try to come straight up and down.”
On Sunday night, the Thunder completed an impressive 3-0 homestand with a 99-74 win over the Heat.
