Spencer Dinwiddie did not look good in preaseason action. Just out of curiosity, before the season started, I checked out various depraved dens of Nets fans across the internet, and they all seemed to think that Dinwiddie was going to go back to his old not-so-good self after a surprisingly good season last year. And I agreed with them. I didn’t want to, but I did, in my heart of hearts. His performance last year always had the feeling of “how is he still doing this?”.
Maybe we are all wrong, because Dinwiddie was just fine last night. He didn’t hit any of his perimeter shots (remember he led the league in super-deep threes last year), but he finished all sorts of crazy stuff around the rim using his lengthy PG body.
D’Angelo Russell, on the other hand, is absolutely still pure compacted booty flakes.
