5 Mavericks players Spencer Dinwiddie will immediately pass in rotation

Dallas Mavericks fans were excited when the team signed guard Spencer Dinwiddie to a one-year deal to come back to Dallas on July 12. Dinwiddie now holds the final roster spot to conclude the 15-man roster.

Dinwiddie was a key contributor to the Mavs' run to the 2022 Western Conference Finals, and earned respect from Luka Doncic and head coach Jason Kidd. With Dinwiddie back, Kidd will have a reliable guard who can give him productive minutes.

The move will cause players on the Mavs roster to get fewer minutes per game for next season, and it will lead to players' roles changing for the better or the worse.

5 Mavericks players Spencer Dinwiddie will immediately pass in rotation

At 31 years old, Dinwiddie has proven himself that he can be a reliable starter or guard off the bench, and he is going to be a huge help for the Mavs next season.

Here are five Mavs players who Dinwiddie will immediately pass in the rotation next season.

5. Maxi Kleber

Over the past two seasons, power forward Maxi Kleber has had injury-prone seasons. Kleber was one player who failed to reach expectations playing 43 games last season, and averaging under five points per game.

Kleber already comes into this season potentially determining whether he will be trade bait or a vital asset moving forward. With Dinwiddie back in Dallas, Kleber's minutes could decrease.

Kleber's confidence to shoot the ball went significantly down after he suffered a right shoulder injury in the first round against the LA Clippers. Dinwiddie doesn't lack confidence to shoot the ball, and will always be a threat to let it fly when he's in the game.

With Dinwiddie on the court, the Mavs can run a successful small-ball lineup to go with Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Kleber will still have the role of being a veteran voice in the locker room, and he'll likely still play a decent amount.

Mavs fans can expect Dinwiddie to get more minutes than Kleber for next season and should be excited with how he has played before in Dallas.
