Keith Langlois of Pistons.com:

"The other element of the future Van Gundy wants to hasten: Spencer Dinwiddie. Is it possible for Dinwiddie to get the playing time Van Gundy desires without it affecting either Brandon Jennings or D.J. Augustin?“No,” Van Gundy said. So what next?“I don’t know when we get to that point. We’ve sort of said with him that we need probably half a season (to make a fair determination), so I don’t know. We’re not quite there yet, but sometime fairly soon. In games where (Jennings and Augustin) are struggling we get him in. We do need to find out who he is.”"

Dinwiddie didn’t pay against the Pacers, but both Brandon Jennings and D.J. Augustin both played well. I trust Van Gundy will find minutes for Dinwiddie in this new arrangement, and I know at least one person who will be very happy about that news.
