Spencer Dinwiddie has had a whirlwind of a summer. The third-year point guard was traded by the Detroit Pistons to the Chicago Bulls in June for Cameron Bairstow, only to get waived by the Bulls in July as they pursued Dwyane Wade in free agency.
While the trade to the Bulls was ostensibly to present Dinwiddie with an opportunity to play – an opportunity that at the time appeared would not come for him in Detroit – it goes without saying that he would now be the clear favorite for the Pistons’ third-string point guard.
