Brooklyn Nets: 2017-18 player grades for Spencer Dinwiddie

Highlights

Despite his overall body of work citing him as an under-the-radar guy, Dinwiddie had a myriad of great moments this season. So many of them were game-winners that the name “WINwiddie” stuck. Boy does that name fit.

It all started against the Minnesota Timberwolves, a team right in the mix for a top-four seed in the West:

Then, WINwiddie crushed the hearts of Detroit Pistons fans (all seven of them) by going full-on Mamba Mentality against the team that threw him aside:

Dinwiddie got 75 percent of his crunch time (game within five points with five minutes or less on the clock) buckets unassisted, which is a testament to his leadership and teammates’ trust. To say he capitalized on such opportunities would be an understatement; his 32 made field goals in crunch time ranked 16th in the NBA.

Dinwiddie even took his clutch gene to Los Angeles, where he took home the Skills Challenge at All-Star Weekend:

This was the first time fans across the NBA could watch any Net play under the national eye. Dinwiddie did not disappoint.

Losing is not an option for him.
