    Just signed up to answer this:) So man is doing 27/5/5 this season, being one of the best players in the league on 31-20 team and it does not matter, cos he is "flat Earth boy". Well done brain, well done.

    I don't think they have a protected 1st round pick from New Orleans.

    Since it didn't convey last year, it changed to a future 1st from the bucks, which iirc, was traded to the Pistons for Grant.

    "Yuck" why? Dinwiddie's better than Ant in nearly every measurable stat, and Powell (unlike GP2) actually plays in games.

    Dinwiddie is just like Simons except older. They both are undersized shooting guards in a PG’s body, can’t guard a chair and streaky as hell.

    I do agree Powell would be an upgrade over any big we currently have though.

    At 6'5", Dinwiddie's a little bigger, a little better defensively (in my eyes), and would probably be a better fit alongside Dame.

    just piggy-backing with some pre-draft combine numbers:

    Dinwiddie - 6'4.4" (w/o shoes)....wingspan 6′ 8.25”....standing reach 8′ 7.00”

    Simons - 6′ 2.25” (w/o shoes)....wingspan 6′ 9.25”....standing reach 8′ 3.5”

    Dinwiddie weighed 22 pounds more

    Dinwiddie was 21; Ant was 19

    So I’m confused about standing reach. If Dinwiddie is only 2 inches taller and has a shorter wingspan, how does he have a 4 inch taller standing reach?

    likely due to way the shoulder extends vertically. So then, standing reach is dependent on rotator cuffs. And this post was pulled from my colon

    Also possible Ant didn't fully extend, so that his vertical looked better? Not likely, but have heard guys doing that

    Edited, brain fart saying make his 40 look better, haha.
