A pass-first depth guard and former lacrosse standout, Spencer dished 3.5 assists in just 18.6 minutes (86th-percentile playmaking) across 66 games. The scoring and finishing are minimal (7.2 points, bottom-decile inside) and the turnovers run high; at 29 and an unrestricted free agent, he's a steady end-of-bench distributor.

Current deal: through '26. On the contract row the flat dashed line is this salary, so the gap to the 2026-27 forecast is the surplus.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played. Contract value is what each season’s play would fetch on the open market. The dotted 2026-27 point is a forecast: his established level, a year older, assuming a normal season.
