Dion Waiters might be short of a few screws from time to time, but if there are two things he's not short of — money and confidence.
The new $52-million-man stopped by Fox Sports 1's The Herd with Colin Cowherd and blessed the show with his top five shooting guards list, one that undoubtedly included the Philadelphia native.

Waiters' top two picks are a shoo-in, Dwyane Wade in third place is a major reach, given how his knees and overall health have responded in the last few years — but knowing how he's patterned so much of his game after him, it's no wonder the young Padawan is putting Master Yoda one notch above him.
The baffling thing, besides considering himself the fourth-best shooting guard in the league, is putting DeMar DeRozan — who's been an All-Star the past two seasons — one position below him.
DeRozan finished fifth in scoring with a 27.3 points per game average — a whopping 11.5 points per game better than Waiters.
It seems that having been validated by the sum he signed due to the inflated collective bargaining agreement, has finally gotten his “Philly cheese swag” to astronomical levels.
Perhaps the funnier bit was from one of the best talents at the position, who felt should have been part of the list, Portland Trail Blazers wing C.J. McCollum, who had only laughing emojis to say about his list.
