Rob Dillingham traded to Charlotte

[TarHeelInCharlotte]

Hasn't been a great NBA career so far, but it's cool to see Dillingham get to play with his home NBA team.

 

[Beatle Bum]

Has it been a good NBA career?

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Love Rob Dilly. I hope he finally gets a real chance. He finally played some minutes for the Bulls and averaged 10/3. Charolette needs a guard now that Ball is gone. He will always probably be a bench scorer because of his size, but he was electric on offense.

 

[bigblueinsanity (the real)]

I just don't understand how he isn't a star by now.

 

[Global Havok]

Chicago giving up on him so quick doesn't bode well.

 

[Johnnie Africa]

Hope I’m wrong but he’s the smallest player on the court in all his NBA games I think that will always hold him back

 

[Glenn's Take]

If you wonder why it doesn't mean as much anymore here is from his Wikipedia page.

AAU Career:

On November 3, 2022, Dillingham left Donda Academy after multiple controversies surrounding its founder, Kanye West, and signed with Overtime Elite, a professional basketball league for late-high-school- and early-college-level players.[11] He joined the Overtime Cold Hearts, one of the six teams in the league.[12] Dillingham made his OTE debut for the Cold Hearts on November 11, recording six points, three rebounds and three steals in a 92–84 loss to the YNG Dreamerz.[12][13]

College career:

After spending one season with the University of Kentucky, Dillingham declared his entry into the 2024 NBA draft and received a green room invite.[14]

Would have made more if he had stayed in school.

You don't pass up on being 9th pick of the draft. His 4 year NBA contract is worth 28mm. He's ok.

Yeah I was way off there

He's was a bad pick in a really weak draft. Teams in that spot bought in on his quickness/handle, but he's barely 6'2", 175. I can't think of one guy in the league that small.

McCain, Ware, Edey, Butzelis all drafted after him.

 

[Dward13]

He ended up being my favorite player on that 2024 team. Only one that seemed genuinely pissed after every loss.

Still mad about the LSU game. Should have been his moment and we gave it away by letting the smallest dude on the court get a put back from 5 feet away. Rob had completely taken that game over.

Probably always gonna be a little mad at Cal for how hard he sold that season.

He is but his skills and athleticism will make up for it in the right fit. He just cant seem to find the right fit.

 

[TarHeelInCharlotte]

Never mind. Hornets waived him today.

 

[theKybluedude]

Still bothers me that he and Reed weren’t our starting guards. They got the nod after we were down 10.

The delta between #4 Castle and #8 Dilly was the Atlantic. So goes the draft.

He got his 12mm guaranteed and likely now off to Europe. Not a profile you see swishing around the league long if they don't hit early.

 

[Johnnie Africa]

Well that's how I read it but have literally never heard of that euphemism before

Like what is straight about an Austrian Opera but gay about an Italian Opera lol

Have you ever been to an Italian opera? It’s like walking into a Greek bathhouse circa 800 BC

 

[bigblueinsanity (the real)]

I have not but to the original point of the phrase I cannot imagine any opera being the epitome of male heterosexuality.

All that said, i wasn't aware this might be an obstacle for him. I assumed there is a fair deal of that in the league especially after seeing that locker room video from the 2012 team leaked. Maybe its just fatal for guys that aren't stars?

Idk if any of that is it, but its hard for me to believe he cant find the floor at least on a second unit

 

[Hitman206]

No, he has been a big disappointment.

 

[Ahnan E. Muss]

Well I never expected my silly post to be read as a euphemism for homosexuality.

The responses make me think of the concept of the Rorschach Test.

 

[DonAndy]

This thread is something else lol

It's funny reading this forum and the things allowed as long as it isnt Big Boss G Andy. Genuinely love this forum.

 

[Dward13]

Robs had a rough week.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

He can’t play the point. He doesn’t guard. And he’s not a good shooter.

He was over drafted. He’s the same size as Iverson and Morant without their skills.

 

[UKgrad22]

Waived by Charlotte

Cal f a lot of his teams up you lost 11 games with reed rob and Antonio reeves tre Mitchell. Nobody could guard a wall but damn they still should’ve went 28-3 sec champions and a final four . But as usual cal f things up
