ESPN.com’s Chad Ford had a chance to watch Dion Waiters work out this week in Las Vegas and he was impressed with the shooting guard.
Ford writes: "A number of NBA scouts who I really respect have been telling me for more than a month that the real sleeper in this draft is Waiters. One GM went even further. ‘There are really only two potential superstars in this draft. One is a sure thing — freshman Anthony Davis. The other one is Waiters.’"
Waiters knows he has a questionable reputation with the scouts and GM’s but he has a message for them.
"I’m not a bad kid. And I can play defense," he told Ford.
Ford currently ranks Waiters as the No. 2 best shooting guard in the draft and the No. 8 overall best prospect on his Top 100 Big Board.
