Spencer Dinwiddie (PG/SG, BKN) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

Spencer Dinwiddie is a fantasy basketball draft sleeper for the 2020-2021 NBA season. Target him as a value pick in this season's fantasy drafts.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 80 Overall

CURRENT ADP: 132

ANALYSIS: The Nets are poised for a big turnaround this season after putting together a completely revamped roster last season. Too bad for them, Durant couldn't step onto the court once, and Kyrie Irving has forced out just 20 games into the season. That made Dinwiddie a fundamental piece for Brooklyn in 2020, and even with the comebacks of KD and Kyrie, he should still have an important role in the Nets gameplans.

Dinwiddie finished 2020 playing 31.2 mpg on 64 games, falling just six minutes short of reaching 2,000 on the season. That number will go down in 2021, but Dinwiddie was one of the most efficient per-minute fantasy players scoring 1.18 FP/min last year. That had a lot to do with his great shooting splits (.415/.307/.778) on 16 fga and 6.3 3pa per game, but also his great rebounding (3.5 rpg) and passing (6.8 apg).

Looking at the whole guard-group of players, Dinwiddie carries the highest ROI of all eligible men, and it's not even close. That will go down a bit if we flip his 2020 fantasy tally for his 2021 projection, but even then he should be getting drafted as low as his ADP shows these days. Only Zach LaVine (ADP 42) shot better than Dinwiddie on 15+ fga per game while scoring more fantasy points per game, although Spencer played three fewer minutes per game than LaVine. One of (if not the) greatest off-the-bench players for the 2021 season, this Spicy D.
