I can't get past the stark change when SD was in the Dallas system.
He was DIFFERENT in Dallas. Off-the-charts better. Two seasons, not one. One with JB, one without, but each season at a completely different tier. "Like a different player entirely" better.
.................... Overall ..... 3%
Before DAL 40.3 31.7
DAL yr 1 49.8 40.4
DAL yr 2 45.5 40.5
After DAL 39.6 30.9
I think he WAS a different player, because he was in a different role getting completely different looks and opportunities. Before and after, he's tasked to be the lead ball-handling guard, but in Dallas, he's freed to imo do what he does way better.
So I just don't see any reason why bringing him back with virtually the same role available, 3rd ball-handler, wouldn't succeed in the same way. And I would love for him to sign here where we can see if it again works like I think it would.
Don't get me wrong, I would love for them to get Dinwiddie. It would ensure we have enough playmakers even with an injury or two. Its just very rare to have change in role make a permanent more than 8% jump in 3 point shooting. That is a massive jump. His shot profile isn't even that different. He also played several years with Nets with different roles. Hopefully we do get him and see how it plays out.
