🏀 Spencer Dinwiddie made his EuroLeague debut in a win for Bayern Munich, contributing six points from one shot and four free throws. While it wasn’t a high-scoring start for the former NBA player, his team secured the important victory.
Coach Expresses Confidence
🗣️ Despite the modest numbers, Bayern’s coach, Gordon Herbert, is optimistic about Dinwiddie’s future with the team. He acknowledged that the European game is different but believes the transition will be fast. Herbert highlighted Dinwiddie’s great understanding of the game and his smart passes, calling him a “really good fit” for the squad.
Adjusting to a New System
🏋️♂️ Herbert, who previously coached Germany to a FIBA World Cup title, explained that practice is key to helping Dinwiddie adjust. He made a light-hearted comment that NBA teams “don’t practice” as much, so the upcoming training sessions will be important for him to get comfortable. The coach also shared that Dinwiddie has settled in well with his teammates, making for an easy transition in the locker room.
