If you look at his 2020/2021 advanced stats, Finney-Smith was far better at SF.  Then he played the majority of his minutes in 2021/2022 at PF.  The problem is you can't have someone playing 43% of th...

I'm not necessarily saying Dinwiddie is a much better player.  I am saying he's a much better SG paired with Luka, especially defensively.

Removing all emotion from losing Brunson, Dinwiddie is completely capable of taking over for Brunson in an enlarged role.  I would argue that Dinwiddie is a better player off the ball and better defen...
