"It's a very personal thing. Obviously I think his health … the NBA gives a good review process … where you're going to fit in there," Scott said. "In his case he's just got to be a little careful that he is 100 percent, that he feels really good, that's he's going to be able to compete at a high level coming off a knee injury like that."

Scott said Dinwiddie obviously has the talent to play in the NBA.

"He's a very good player, he's got good size for a guard," Scott said. "I just think that it's going to be health … you get good enough information these days that he'll be able to make the right decision."
