Shooting Guard

Spencer Dinwiddie

In an ideal world, the Pistons would like to find a steal on the wing in this deep draft class. This would allow them to create a young and dynamic tandem with their pick from last year, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. One guy who could fit into that mold is Colorado’s Spencer Dinwiddie.

At 6’6″, Dinwiddie has great size for a two guard. Combined with his strong lateral quickness, Dinwiddie will have no problem guarding across positions one to three in the NBA. Offensively, Dinwiddie has a knack for getting to the rim and finishing, despite a lack of athleticism. He’s also capable of spotting up from the perimeter, as well as being an outstanding, and unselfish passer.

Alternate options include: Bogdan Bogdanovic, Nick Johnson
