Spencer Dinwiddie Rumors

Howard Beck: In L2M report, NBA agrees w/Nets coach Kenny Atkinson: Tobias Harris should have been called for foul for wrapping Jarrett Allen on Nets’ final possession, restricting his freedom of movement. (L2M also notes refs missed Dinwiddie carrying the ball with 1:45 left.)

“I still insist that when I look at his shot and see him practice that he can stretch the floor eventually,” Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson says. Several of Allen’s teammates feel like a $100 million contract is on the horizon, and during a recent appearance on ESPN’s “The Jump,” Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie called Allen “a future top-five center.” “I look at [Clint] Capela, and you can’t tell me Jarrett can’t be just as good if not better than Capela. I think his shot blocking is already better than Capela right now,” Dudley says. “I think he’s more mobile and active than Rudy Gobert…I think the high is him being an All-Star player, averaging around 19-20 points, 10 rebounds, and about 3-4 blocks.”

But they hit gold with Atkinson, who took over a team with an empty cupboard. He was brought in as a development coach, specifically one that would turn “nothing” players into “something” players. He needed to be the guy that players would buy in and believe in a long-term process that would help the individual and the organization as a whole. “I thought he was funny the first time I met him because he always talked sh-t,” Spencer Dinwiddie told SNY. “I mean that in a good way, because the talking was just another way to bring the competitiveness out in me.”
