He is also dishing out 5 assists a game with a good assist to turnover ratio. My eye test tells me its other guys hurting the team (McGee, Bullock, Timmy, Maxi on offense).
I don't know, man. It's tough to explain, for sure, but...MY eyes tell me that pretty much every time Dinwiddie goes for a stretch on-ball he does some good things but the team seems to lose ground on the scoreboard.
Kamm isn't exactly coming out of left field on this one, imo. I can't point to a number that proves it (other than the ones he just posted about the two-man combos, which seem significant) but intuition wise it sure seems like Dinwiddie is a sizable portion of what's not working to me.
Bullock and THJ are part of it too, obviously, but with them it's really just a matter of insane shooting slumps. That can change (and almost has to, right?), but...if this is Dinwiddie playing well and it's not contributing to success on the court then it must be something about play style...something about his teammates not being able to understand what he's going to do out there...something systemic. If so, that has the possibility of going even more south if/when those efficient numbers start to drop.
