NBA All-Star Game 2020: Predicting the snubs from the Eastern Conference

The All-Star game is scheduled for Feb. 16 in Chicago, Illinois

#3 Spencer Dinwiddie

Dinwiddie has been the damage recovery expert for Brooklyn this year.

After missing Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Caris LeVert and Davis Nwaba to season-altering injuries, the Brooklyn Nets called upon Spencer Dinwiddie to take charge of offensive duties. And the 26-year-old shooting guard has not disappointed.

So far, Dinwiddie is posting career-high numbers in 22.5 points and 6.3 dimes per matchup. He has been the Nets' go-to man in these times of distress, taking over 17 shots per game on average. However, of all the major flaws in this system, the uncharasteristically high usage of Spencer has not been efficient.

He is shooting below 30% from beyond the arc and committing around 3.3 personal fouls per contest. It is questionable that his role of being Brooklyn's life-saver is sufficient to bag an All-star berth, as the Nets find themselves with a .500 record down at the 7th place in the East.
