Seems like some of his fans need to go through the same learning curve that Dion is going through.     I think OKC is a very good situation for him because he needed to drop the usage and learn what he was good at.   Good to see him putting it together now.

He is not and will never be an effective high usage volume shooter in the league.   He is not a good volume shooter and he is terrible at finishing at the rim and not particularly good at drawing fouls.   The more he tries to FORCE a high usage game the quicker his NBA career will come to an end.    He is good, but not great, at many little things -- and that is what he needs to focus on.     Focus more on D, work on his court vision, work on being able to pick shots he is better at.    Being strong and athletic means he can create some shots -- but he needs to get more picky.   Work on killing the 3 from a few spots    He should then have a few more NBA contracts.

There have been chuckers who have had longer careers - Jamal Crawford and Lou Williams for example.  But they are great shooters.   The more Dion tried to volume chuck the closer is the exit door.
