2018-19 Spencer Dinwiddie

16.8 points and 4.6 assists per game, 44.2 field-goal percentage

Spencer Dinwiddie has taken full advantage of every opportunity he’s gotten with the Brooklyn Nets. Dinwiddie spent time in the D-League, now G-League, with the Windy City Bulls, and had to really work hard to even be noticed by the Nets organization following his disappointing stints with the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls.

Dinwiddie seized the opportunity to be the starting point guard following the injuries to Jeremy Lin and D’Angelo Russell in the 2017-18 season after showing promise as an NBA player the season before.

Although he was regulated to back-up duties for the 2018-19 season, his impact on the team was clearly felt as he’d sometimes be given minutes down the stretch over the likes of Russell and be trusted with making the right plays, as Dinwiddie had 95 points in clutch situations including game-winning threes against the Pistons and Houston Rockets.

Dinwiddie is a jack of all-trades offensively at the guard position and can play very well with many different types of players. Dinwiddie can drive to the rack for easy layups, pull-up from three-point range or the mid-range, draw fouls for looks at the free-throw line and run the pick-and-roll very well for easy buckets inside. His height and length also allows him to pull-up on smaller defenders and take on bigger guys inside. Dinwiddie, in particular, has developed some very good chemistry with Jarrett Allen, as Dinwiddie often finds Allen inside for some nice alley-oop finishes.

Although Dinwiddie finished just fourth in Sixth Man voting in 2018-19, you can still rely on him to keep the offense flowing and run the show without the offense losing a beat.
