(Elias) WORTH THE WAITERS: Dion Waiters was named the Kia NBA Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for games played in the month of February. During the month, he ranked first in scoring (15.8) and assists (3.1), second in steals (1.1) and field goal percentage (.514) and third in minutes (28.2) among Eastern Conference rookies (minimum 10 games played). He shot at least.500 from the field seven times, including.600 from the field six times in February. Below are a few notes on the Cavs rookie campaign: On the season, Waiters leads all Eastern Conference rookies in points per game (14.7), assists per game (3.0) and steals per game (1.0). He has scored 20 points or more 14 times this season. In a win over the Clippers on Nov. 5, he nailed seven three-pointers to become the first player in NBA history to have seven or more three-pointers in one of his first six games. He is also the first Cavs rookie to make seven three-pointers in a game. Waiters made at least one three-pointer in each of his first 13 games of his career (10/30/12 11/24/12) and is one of three players in NBA history to have started their careers with 10-or-more consecutive games with a three-point field goal (Damian Lillard, Rudy Fernandez). Against the Kings on Jan. 14, he scored 16 points in the fourth quarter and finished with a career-high 33 points on (.667) shooting and added five assists in 29 minutes off the bench. It was Waiters first career 30-point game Waiters is just the third rookie in Cavaliers history to score at least 30 points off the bench, joining Mike Mitchell (32 pts on Jan. 6, 1979) and Derek Anderson (30 pts on April 3, 1998).
