Is role change or lack of aggressiveness the culprit in Dinwiddie dip?

Spencer Dinwiddie scored eight points on 3-of-11 shooting (2-of-9 from deep) and handed out nine assists in the Nets win over the Bulls Saturday night, about what he’s been posting since the return of D’Angelo Russell.

As Greg Logan reports, the dip in numbers has dampened, just a bit, his position as the “poster boy for the Nets development program.” So is the dropoff about him or about playing next to DLo ... or maybe a bit of both.

“He just became a less assertive player, and that was not the message from us, especially when we made the change,” Atkinson told Logan.
