I think Waiters is better and its not even close.
[B]He has isolation Triche doesn't. That says it all right there[/B]. He is a very agressive defender. End of story in my opinion.

[B]Its Much harder to teach a guy isolation then it is to teach him how to be in control with it and up your shooting percentage a bit.[/B]

[B]Someone like Scoop is a good example of that.[/B]

First you have to realize That both Triche and Dion start their offensive sets at the three point line.

Then look at guys like ,Andy Rautins, Nichols,,Devendorf, Gmac, Duany, Shumpert. Guys like that don't get drafted to often and its usually not high. Thats my pet pieve with Southerland right now(guy has to study some Larry Bird).

Sure there are guys like the occasional Wes Johnson, Reddick but its pretty rare.
Most of them end up like Gerry, Rautins, or Devendorf.

Then look at guys like Johnny, or Jameer Nelson, Sherman Douglas, or Kemba Walker, Tyreke Evans, Derrick Rose, or Duane Wade, CP3, or Kyrie Irving.

Point is its rare to see a non isolation player go really high. Someone who can kill in isolation can. Plus Dions shot(form confidence everything) is really rounding out.
Triche can barely shoot off the dribble right now. I would say even Scoop is better at it then him and hes smaller.

No knock on Triche he can get there but right now hes got work to do if he wants to become a isolation type. You could be right on him not feeling he can get better. Confidence is a feeling. Feeling it is half the game. Just ask Dion.
