Spencer Dinwiddie hopes to have role like Draymond Green does for Warriors

Since Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant came to Brooklyn, Spencer Dinwiddie knew his role was going to change. The point guard has never had a problem with that idea, though — all Dinwiddie wants to do is win.

But with Irving missing the majority of 2019-20 and Durant sitting out the whole season, it’s still unclear what the roles will be for each player on the Nets roster beyond Brooklyn’s two superstars.

Dinwiddie doesn’t know for sure what his role will be in 2020-21, but he expressed on ESPN’s “The Jump” on Friday what he’d like it to be:

“Obviously, we don’t know who’s going to start and who’s going to come off the bench as of right now — and that’s KD and Kyrie excluded, of course. But really, when all this was being formed, I viewed myself [like] we were going to take the Golden State model [and I’d work] as kinda the Draymond Green, the glue. Sometimes I get 10 boards, sometimes I get 10 assists, sometimes I score a little bit more, whatever it is. ‘Cause, obviously we have a super dynamic point guard and then we also have the greatest scorer of all time. That’s how I always viewed myself when it was being talked about and put together. I would be blessed to have that role this year and try to win a championship.”
