Joe johnson is in Utah.  They have Tyler Johnson and Josh Richardson.

He played really well last year.  It was only 36 games, but 36 games with a 58% true shooting%.  I'm not going to slice and dice the game logs but I wouldn't be surprised if Dion never had a stretch like that in his career.

I may have made this point before, but it's incredible how Dion is spoke of here compared to, well, everywhere else in the NBA universe.  The guy has been a bad player for his career.  Not he hasn't been a good player, or he hasn't been an average player, he has been bad.  And pretty consistently bad.

In his career, he has a usage rate of 23.2% and a true shooting of 48.8%.  If you look at guys over the last 4 years who have played 200 games with a usage over 21.5% and a true shooting% of 50% or lower, this is the list you get:

Jared Sullinger (this was a surprise to me)
Josh Smith
Dion Waiters
Trey Burke
Charlie Villanueva
Kevin Seraphin
Ish Smith

Very few players have combined his usage rate and inefficiency.
