In this year's offseason, the Wizards traded the All-Star backcourt Westbrook who just joined the team last season to the Lakers, thus exchanging Kuzma, Pop, harrell to increase their lineup depth, but the management chose to sign another backcourt player shortly after, making him the second head of the team, and the star Bill, coinciding with the contract with the Nets at that time, Dinwiddie, who was involved in the free market, also became the Wizards' number one target.
In the free market door has just opened, the Wizards management into Dinwiddie to offer a 3-year 54 million fat contract, to such a player who has just suffered from a torn cruciate ligament such a big contract, the Wizards' move is undoubtedly some gambling risks, but the Wizards management is full of confidence, at the time when just signed Dinwiddie, Wizards general manager Shepard revealed in an interview: "About Dinwiddie, around Beal I think they can create opportunities for each other, his three-point shot is excellent, He also proved himself in other ways that he was well suited to playing next to Beal. ”
Although it is only a second-round show, but Dinwiddie from the Pistons to the Nets, but also did find their own place in this New York giants team, 19-20 season, Dinwiddie can average 20.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, almost selected for the NBA All-Star Game, just when he wants to show his fist in the next season, how nai nets ushered in the comeback of Durant and Irving, plus the introduction of James Harden at the beginning of the season, and Dinwiddie only played 3 games for the team. Because of the injury of the cruciate ligament tear, the season was reimbursed. Prior to that, his average per game also plummeted to 6.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3 assists.
This move to the Wizards was originally a perfect time for Dinwiddie to prove himself again, but his performance, like the current Wizards, was quite "high and low", in the second game of the season against the Pacers, Dinwiddie, wearing a Wizards jersey, cut 34 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, just when the fans called out the word "true fragrance", he sat on the roller coaster in the following game. In five games in October, Dinwiddie averaged 19.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, but after entering November, his score dropped to 12.8 points, and in the six games into December, Dinwiddie's score plummeted again, dropping to 8.3 points.
As of now, Dinwiddie's stats this season have dropped to 13.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists, shooting only 39.2%, and the three-point accuracy praised by the Wizards general manager at the time is only 33.9%, and even Kuzma and Aaron Holliday are not as good as (Kuzma's three-point shooting rate is 35.5%, Holliday's three-point shooting rate is 36.8%), the Wizards have only achieved a bad record of 2 wins and 6 losses in the last 8 games, and Dinwiddie is absolutely responsible. Originally thinking that the power of Dinwiddie and Pope, such as backcourt players, could reduce his pressure slightly, but Bill finally failed to escape the dilemma of becoming the "leader of the empty group" again.
Because of the recent back-to-back losses, the Wizards' record has fallen to the seventh place in the East with 15 wins and 12 losses, if the playoffs start now, the Wizards will face the dilemma of playing the playoffs, as a recent top three in the East, the Wizards have suffered such a sluggish performance in the recent past, as the Wizards' second boss, Dinwiddie really has to reflect on himself.
