So I stumbled upon the graphic on BBALL Index Twitter, which showed Spencer still being elite from the corner 3pt range. He did the most damage in this area in Dallas was one of the leading corner 3pt shooters in the league with us.
So I went and investigated his shot map for the past 3 years. He has been shooting 52% from the left corner and 43% from right on a 3 year sample size. Which is insane.
This shows that he’ll still be a heck of a a player for us. We mainly need him to sit in the corners for spacing and create shots when needed.

I still remember the discourse around the time of his acquisition, where people wanted DSJ instead of him lol. Spencer fits the bill on everything we need from a bench ball handler + is a corner specialist. I think something we learned last year is that our team is quite handicapped without good shooters, so DSJ would’ve been quite useless to us as a 6’2 guard who can’t shoot. Our team is very deep now, and we have many options at the 3rd/4th guard.
Spence like in 22 will far exceed expectations this season. He was really effective defensively for the Lakers also so lookout
Kind of weird to use 1000 minutes rather than a minimum number of attempts
