Spencer Dinwiddie much like Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson, found himself in new waters following the trade deadline this past season.

While his surroundings in Brooklyn were all too familiar, the role that Spencer Dinwiddie was asked to fill had a much different look to it than years prior.

The guys discuss how Dinwiddie in fact re-invented himself rather successfully, being among the top assist leaders in the NBA over the last 27 games. The problem lies in what will be asked of the 30-year-old this year.

If Ben Simmons returns to form in a Point-Forward role, Spencer Dinwiddie will be asked to help supply consistent perimeter shooting and off-ball value to the offense. Doug and Adam highlight where the statistics and eye test meet to form a concerning outlook.

If the Nets are to find value at the deadline in moving Dinwiddie, it will also require the likes of Cam Thomas or Dennis Smith Jr to show they are ready for a much longer workload, affording Brooklyn to continue the theme of getting younger through their rebuild process.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
