Waiters: Catch and Shoot Isn’t My Game

It has been made clear to me in recent days by Cavs deep thinkers they’d like (Dion) Waiters to really concentrate on two areas: defending like crazy and shooting catch-and-shoot 3-pointers. Waiters’ catch-and-shoot numbers last season were much better than I would’ve predicted:

So when Waiters stayed behind after the team’s morning shootaround Tuesday and worked out for another 40 minutes, after the bus and rest of the players were long gone, it wasn’t surprising to watch him working primarily on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers. Yet when I asked him about focusing on that this season, he dismissed it.

That’s not my game,” he said. “I can do it, but you know what I’m effective at: pick-and-roll and things like that.”
