February 2016 Summary
It looked like February was going to be the month of Dion Waiters, as the shooting guard started with two scores of 50 plus and a 49 point effort. However, his numbers became more modest as the month went on. This could be attributed to the return of Kyrie Irving from injury, or the rise of Jabari Parker. Parker's eye-popping numbers earned him another Rookie of the Month award and put him in the conversation for East Player of the Month.
Kyrie Irving will have another lengthy stint on the sidelines with a broken finger, so it's a perfect time for Dion Waiters to step up once again.
