speaking of Dion and Wes . . .
Dion is having, in his own way, a remarkable season.  He is currently 68th out of 70 qualified shooting guards in [URL='http://insider.espn.com/nba/hollinger/statistics/_/position/sg/sort/trueShootingPct']True Shooting Percentage[/URL], while at the same time being 9th in [URL='http://insider.espn.com/nba/hollinger/statistics/_/position/sg/sort/usageRate']usage rate[/URL]!  Just Dion being Dion, I suppose.

Meanwhile, Wes is currently averaging fewer than 3 ppg and his PER is below 7.  And yet, he is having the most impactful season of his career.  I was driving last night & listening to the Clippers game on the radio.  The broadcasters repeated those data points, but pointed out that Doc Rivers is crediting Wes & Luc Mbah a Moute with their great start.  They always knew the offense would be there, but the defense has made the difference this year.  The #1 defensive unit in the NBA is the Clippers' starters . . . the #2 unit is the Clipper's reserves, when Wes is out there with them.  I don't have a link to that, it's just what they said.   Doc loves his two SFs and doesn't care what they give him on the offensive end.
