He's the first homosexual point guard in the NBA

It's actually DiNwiddie.

I just wrote this up. Enjoy!

Strengths: Dinwiddie is a dual offensive threat, who averaged 18.9 points and 4.1 assists per 40 minutes over his last two seasons at Colorado … Dangerous in transition – glides down the floor and slithers his way to the basket … Smooth. Good body control and great touch on his floaters … Uses nifty hop and Euro steps to get to the rim… Draws a bunch of fouls, averaging 9 FTA per 40 over his last two seasons at CU … Excellent free-throw shooter, making better than 81 percent of his attempts in each of his three seasons at CU … Solid three-point shooter, making more than 41 percent of his attempts in two of his three seasons with the Buffalos … Very effective scoring and finding open perimeter shooters when driving off the pick and roll … Tallest player classified as a point guard at the combine – his height allows him to shoot unimpeded and easily find open teammates … Makes crisp interior passes … Good off-the-ball defense – denies very well … Fast – gets down the floor quickly and can stick with talented scorers, such as Marcus Smart and Andrew Wiggins, on defense … High character guy with good intelligence. Seemingly a good teammate – enthusiastic, likable, expressive, involved, and shares the ball …

Weaknesses: Dinwiddie's most glaring weakness is his lack of assertiveness and consistency. Scouts often wonder why his level of intensity is not at the same level at all time. Should look to be a little more selfish (assertive). Has standout ability but doesn't always take it upon himself to be the star that he should be ... Still recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in January … Questionable whether he is a true point guard or more a combo – frequently played off the ball at CU, though excels in ball handling and passing … Slender build – bounces off stronger players on both ends of the floor … Avoids contact when driving – prefers to pull up or pass out rather than go all the way to the hole … Limited dribble moves … Doesn’t show much ability to create his own shot, frequently relying of screens to get open … Too dependent on his right hand – shoots with his right on drives to the left side of the rim… Easily picked off by screens on the defensive side of the ball, which is seemingly due to a combination of a lack of awareness and strength ...

Wow. Sounds like KCP.

Hey guys, I just put together this video real quick. Not my best work, but enjoy!

Hoping he has narcolepsy or something interesting

Can somebody please fix the thread title? Thanks. It really makes me look unprofessional.

Avoids contact?? 7 FTs/game??

3-yr contract

Who broke the story?

I suspect there's some team option(s), and we get his Bird rights at the end if he's any good.

There were questions about Dinwiddie’s shooting ability in the past, but he’s shooting 38% from three-point range this season. “It’s like a lot of things,” Pistons coach/president Van Gundy said before the game. “He didn’t really get an opportunity with us. He’s getting an opportunity to go out there and play every night and he’s playing well. He’s playing very, very well, and I’m happy for him.” 2 days ago – via Detroit Free Press


So maddening. Whose fault is that? I can remember begging SVG to give the kid a chance when there was nothing else to play for. Argh!

Our plethora of shooters crowded him out.

He's not a loss though.

I agree that he's not any big loss, but that philosophy is really shitty. Draft a kid, never give them a chance to play -even when your team sucks and should be tanking- let him go for nothing, and then say "oh wow, he never got a chance with us".

Yeah, it's bad business for sure.

Dinwiddie was not the same for us after getting injured. Maybe it took time. Maybe it took a change of scenery. Who knows. I'm not losing sleep over him.

Wasn't he injured when we drafted him? (Basically)

And then there's this lovely headline

The Magic beat us by 28?!

Fuck this.

They lost that game handily and were fouling and calling timeouts to get the kid more shots in a lost game. Not sure I care much about that "accomplishment."

Though Stanley is utter garbage.

You guys been watching him?

I want to see how Dinwiddie handles a cold streak. He seemed to mentally play himself out of the game when he was with us, recovering from getting hurt. Maybe he just needed more time.

Never really got a chance with us, even when we should’ve been tanking, he couldn’t get on the floor. That was really stupid.
