Can’t say that Waiters is lacking any confidence.
Here is a small snippet from Larry Brown Sports about how Waiters felt that even though he was the superior player, Kyrie was getting all the love.
One of the reasons Waiters was unhappy with the Cavs is he thought he should be starting. In fact, Sam Amico of FOX Sports reports that Waiters believes he is a better player than Kyrie Irving and that the Cavs “favored” Irving.
Of course, Cavs favored Kyrie, he was their #1 pick after they lost LeBron. Waiters may be delusional or may be he was just in a bad situation, we will see how it works out in OKC.
