Byron Scott watched Dion Waiters work out with other NBA players last week at the Clippers' practice facility.

"He looked a whole lot better," Scott said. "His conditioning was so much better. I had a lot of guys who were playing with him come up and comment to me about how good he looked. So he's on his way."

Scott said Waiters still has a lot of work to do to prepare for training camp.

"But he's on the right path," Scott said. "He's been working, he's healthy again. Skill-wise, there's never been a problem. Not on the offensive end. Obviously on the defensive end, after being at Syracuse for two years and playing zone, he stands around at times. But I don't think that's gonna be a hard thing to break."
