2014-15 Breakout Player: Dion Waiters

Word: Waiters is going to have a breakout season by averaging less points next season, if that makes sense. The Cavaliers aren’t going to have one player breakout numbers-wise next season, mostly because LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving are going to dominate the statistical categories. Although, Waiters is going to have a plethora of wide open shots this season. All he has to worry about doing is hitting open shots. Expect an inflation in his 43 percent shooting.
