Dion can significantly improve his stock when he can prove he can run a college offense as a point. I'd have to think next year with him and Triche starting that Dion would be the primary ball handler.
 
Right now if you're an NBA team you're taking a 6'4 guard who is too small to play SG, but hasn't proven he can play PG either. 
 
He has a lot to work on. Here's a quick rundown why I think he's not quite ready;
- Tweener 
- Not too explosive or overly athletic (this is more addressing the DWade comparisons; although this is something he can't improve)
- Inconsistent jumper with a slow release
- Questionable shot selection and sometimes makes a pass that isn't there
- Plays 1-on-1 too much
 
Obviously some positives:
- Good finisher around the rim
- Good range
- Excellent hands
- Built like a linebacker
- Excellent handle
- Clutch
 
I think between 20-25 is fair for him right now, with the possibility of going top 15 if he breaks out in March. However, if he comes back next year and plays point (and well), I could see him going top 6 or 7 easily.
