An article on the potential landing spots for Dingle.

The article does worry me a bit - if these are his most likely destinations. I think his best outcome would include a lot of playing time and also the right team role to showcase his skills. I don't know much about the other teams, but some don't look like ideal fits.
I initially was a bit negative on St. Johns, as JD doesn't remind me of the prototype Pitino player. JD plays at a very measured pace. I think of Pitino teams as playing frenetic offense and defense, and having a lot of ball possession and sharpshooting players. The idea of Pitino is growing on me though. First, St. Johns may have more playing time. Second, Pitino teams do create a lot of spacing and the type of shot or dribble-drive openings that Dingle might be able to use. It also might force Dingle to develop parts of his game which could help his NBA development. Finally, I *think* he was from New York, so he should have friends and family support nearby (nychoops?). Even if St. Johns isn't a great team next year, there will be plenty of eyes and attention for the team.
