Dinwiddie seems like Shaun Livingston with a 3 point shot. :rock:

He's signed through 2019. 1.5 next year and 1.6 year after.
I'm a fan of Mr. Dinwiddie and hope he starts for the Nets sooner than later.

I'd be fine with him starting over Foye but not over Lin.

Dinwiddie just needs to play confident more on offense and he'll be fine. He's very active defensively.

I would note that many people on here earlier in the season thought that Dinwiddie was trash. And when there was that debate earlier in the season about whether Whitehead was worth developing, people jumped on the critics saying that they were biased against the Nets' youth. And perhaps some were. But I suggested that Dinwiddie, based on his college stats, had more potential than Whitehead, and so it wasn't a blanket bias against youth but rather a valid criticism against Whitehead (in this case, I based it on Whitehead's college stats).

Not trying to pick a fight or start an unnecessary debate -- my point is that most people shaattted on Dinwiddie all year (unnecessarily so in my opinion). He's shooting 45% FG, 39% 3PT, 79% FT -- those are great percentages for a backup PG. I would credit the recognition of Dinwiddie as the stronger backup PG and Whitehead as more of a combo guard, for some of the success in the last two months.

If Diwiddie can maintain his recent level of play, he should start at PG and let Lin slide over to SG or better yet 6th man where he is imo the most effective.

I'm 100% serious. You really think there is no chance?

There is a "chance."

To be fair, there were people on here trying to **** on Whitehead stating that the Nets should dump Whitehead's development in favor of Dinwiddie, as if the Nets couldn't focus on developing both players. Of course there's going to get pushback over such an irrational position like that.

Just a "chance"?

I'd say he has a decent shot at it.

i still think Whitehead has more potential than Dinwiddie... but Dinwiddie is coming along nicely, only if he has more confidence with his game... he and Joe Harris have similarities, good kills with low confidence

Interesting breakdown with Spencer Dinwiddie and our latest victory. I'd recommend everyone check it out, Spencer does a great job of breaking down what he sees in combination of our plays.

A month ago I would've agreed with you. I wanted to see Dinwiddie/Lin at the 1/2. But if youre talking about that starting lineup for next year, I have to disagree. Dinwiddie can only push Lin over to SG, he cant push him to 6th man (yet). Next year, we (hopefully) won't be able to push Lin to SG. Hopefully, we have a new starting SG/SF next season, which means their would be no room to start Lin and Dinwiddie without putting LeVert on the bench.

Now, if the nets signed Hill instead of a RFA Wing, then I could see Dinwiddie/Hill starting with Lin off the bench. I love lin in that 6th man role. He's capable of starting, but I really think he excels in that role.

Yeah dinwiddie either takes foyes spot as starter or goes t the bench if we sign someone like hill

Dinwiddie and Whitehead are clearly on separate tracks:
Obviously Dinwiddie is on a point guard track. Clearly Nets 2nd best point guard. Bench plays well and desperately needs Dinwiddie in that role. Loves to create for others.

Whitehead is on a 2 guard track, reinforced by the acquisition of Goodwin. IW by nature, alway's been/alway's will be an instinctual scoring guard, who looks for own shot first and has shown he's decent at it.

At best IW is a combo guard (85% SG/15% PG) and Dinw is exact reverse. Occasionally Kenny plays his multi-guard sets with Lin,Dinw,IW but those will the exception rather than rule.

If we get Hill or any other FA guard, then Dinw and IW get shunted lower down totem.
