Spencer Dinwiddie
If not for Dinwiddie, the Nets might be in a hole. Instead, they’re an even .500 and would be in the playoffs if the season were to end after 20 games.
Without Kyrie Irving, Brooklyn simply needs to stay afloat. But taking out a superstar usually has a significant impact on any team. Dinwiddie is making sure the Nets don’t feel the effects of Irving’s absence.
Dinwiddie was also named Eastern Conference Player of the Week for Week 5 and was a nominee for Week 6. He was also a nominee for Eastern Conference Player of the Month.
