No offense, but this is just plain wrong. Dion is starting and getting 33 minutes a game on a Heat team that will likely make the playoffs, for a coach that holds his players accountable, and is playing over Tyler Johnson who got a 50 million dollar contract this past off-season. Admittedly Dion came into the league immature, but he's grown up a lot in the past few years, and has the legit tools to be the sort of all around player that is especially valuable in the playoffs. Specifically, he's a well above-average wing defender, he very athletic, is a pretty good playmaker, and shoots just well enough to keep defenses honest. To top it off, he's only 24! To put that in perspective, he's less than 7 months older than Michael Gbinije! It drives me nuts to hear people rag on Dion. Sure, he hasn't lived up to the #4 draft pick, but he's turned out just fine, and is probably our second best NBA player currently. We should give him props for fighting hard to mature and improve his game when plenty of other top picks fade out of the league quickly.
