I thought he looked GREAT here with the kind of spacing this team can provide with all of its front court shooting (they just got even more of that, too). And, that was coming off of a major injury without the benefit of a training camp to learn the system and get comfortable with teammates/different lineups.
I'm expecting a 6MOY-level season from him this year, and tbh I could easily see him starting if not for Brunson. I think Dinwiddie fits on this team like peas fit with carrots.
I hate peas, so we are already off to a bad start. I like him as a player and think he is a really good fit. But I think its a little dangerous judging a guy on the small sample that he has been here. If Spencer is going to continue hitting the 3 at a 40% clip then he might be the best player of that group. But given his 32% career average (he shot 31% in Washington and 31% his prior full season) it is unlikely sustainable.
