Although Dinwiddie has all the skills and talent to succeed in the NBA, the real question is whether his body will be up to the challenge.

At 6’6″, Dinwiddie’s height won’t be a problem, but weighing only 205 pounds, he needs to bulk up. As a guy who has the skills to guard small forwards, he needs to ensure he has the strength and power to match up with larger guards and smaller forwards.

As well as making sure that he won’t get bullied down low, Dinwiddie needs to ensure that his lack of athleticism doesn’t get the better of him as a pro either.
