Dion Waiters News

The ping pong balls have landed, David Stern is still paying back Dan Gilbert, and we have a better idea of where Syracuse's Michael Carter Williams may go in next month's draft.

Now that the top of the order for the 2013 NBA Draft has been settled, let's re-evaluate where former Orange players might hear their named called.

Dion Waiters became the first former Syracuse player to be named to the NBA All-Rookie first team since Carmelo Anthony in 2003-04. The 6-foot-4 shooting guard averaged 14.7 points and 3.0 assists per game for the Cleveland Cavaliers this year.

Every team hopes to win the lottery to get the first pick of the draft. However, there are plenty of talented players available that would be great fits on certain teams.

Michael Carter-Williams is a point guard with great size, passing skills and creativity, who lacks much in the ways of consistent scoring and decision-making ability.

Noel looks to be the consensus No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft despite the gruesome knee injury , but there are plenty of other prospects who look poised to be difference makers next season in the NBA.

After a while, something happening over and over again is more than just coincidence.
