2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Chicagojk]

So I just did a numbers exercise on the new guys per 36 for their career, best year, and current year. Averaged those over 24 mpg and this is what I came up with:

Spencer Dinwiddie: 12 PTS / 5 AST / 3 RBS

For comparison, here are the 24 mpg numbers for our own guys from last year and this year:

THJ: 12 PTS / 1 AST / 3 RBS

Brunson: 11 PTS / 3 AST / 3 RBS

Current year Bullock: 8 PTS / 1 AST / 3 RBS



And now for Davis Bertans:

10 PTS / 4 RBS / 6 3PA


And for the current Mavs comps:

Maxi: 7 PTS / 4 RBS
Powell: 7 PTS / 4 RBS


Would we all be ok with 12/5/3 from SD and 10/4 from Bertans off the bench?

You play Maxi and one of DFS or RB with Bertans and you're okay defensively. I'd like to see SD play some with Josh Green at the 2 as well.

12 and 10 from both would be good.   I wonder if we can find the minutes where Dinwiddie can get up to 15 points a game to be our third leading scorer?  I don't think we can count on the 20 point Bullock games as standard.  Not having a consistent third scorer is going to be tough.   Can Dinwiddie be that when he is the backup to our two leading scorers?

Although looking at play, I would like to see like 6 three point shots a game from Bertans (maybe 18 minutes of play).  Hopefully when on the court his defense doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.   He needs to be aggressive looking for his shot.  

For Dinwiddie, I want him to be able to play off Luka or Brunson.   Be able to attack defense when the ball is rotated over to him and get to the rim.   I would like to see limited three point shots...and very little three point shots off the dribble.
