Dion is certainly receiving accolades. This article starts out this way:
He's the second-leading scorer and top perimeter defender for the best college basketball team in the country.
Still, when the lineups are announced before each game, Syracuse guard Dion Waiters never hears his name.
He admits it used to "mess with him a little." "I was one of the top 15 players in the country coming out of high school," said Waiters, a sophomore. "I expected to start as soon as I got here."

Rich Barnes/Icon SMISyracuse's top reserve Dion Waiters would rather come off the bench than start.
Two seasons later, Waiters still opens each contest on the Syracuse bench. Only now, instead of despising his role, he relishes it.
