His defense was a non-factor as I suspect Dinwiddie will at least be his equal. His assists and playmaking shouldn't be missed with Dinwiddie in the starting lineup. The few JB rebounds are easily replaced with Dinwiddie starting.
We will miss JB's efficiency I think, but the other factors make this a wash in my opinion. I am more concerned about the rotation players at this point and as Dan mentioned, the lack of playmaking with Dinwiddie moving in as a starter.
I think Dinwiddie is a good bench player. A 3rd guard. Someone I like in the closing lineup due to his ability to get to the line. Being a starter, 2nd and only guard on the roster, I do not like.
