The addition of Spencer Dinwiddie at last year’s trade deadline proved to be something of a revelation for the Mavericks. After two postseason losses to a potent Clippers team prompted refrains of “Luka needs help,” Dinwiddie’s added ball handling and playmaking off the bench proved just the kind of boost this roster needed.
Now, entering his first full year with the team, there’s reason to be optimistic about Dinwiddie’s play. He’ll be a full season removed from an ACL injury that stunted his play, and with Brunson going to the Knicks, a sizable chunk of playmaking minutes are up for grabs.
