Rob Dillingham
- Thread starter SkyPrince1
- Start date
T Wolves are good now but they are a crap organization.
It is early, for sure, but this rookie class is one of the weakest in memory ... maybe in history.
Some of these youngsters may reach their projected levels, but certainly not all.
Their youth provides them plenty of time to learn the pro game and assimilate it.
Dedication and effort will be the keys to maximizing their talent and extending their careers.

It is amazing that you had to remind the poster that if you are not a free agent or undrafted free agent you don't get to pick the team you play for.
I guess that part stinks, but I still think he was gonna be a Longshot for ROY anyways. Minnesota had talent regardless of the trade so I think his touches were ultimately going to keep him from ROY.. where as guys like Edey, Sarr or even Reed should get more volume.
Reed only had 6 minutes last night against the Spurs. Shocked nobody started a thread about that.
No difference but I’m glad you know the order of numbers.
People need to lighten up. I thought it was obviously tongue in cheek. Some people hate Cal so much it overrides common sense.
Just another example of Schrodinger's Cal.
The posters that have me on the ground laughing are the ones that run in and call you a Cal Lover if you don’t degrade his every move. Talk about having CDS.
In my circles, most just don't care that much about NBA.

I actually think thats in line for him atm. Rob though surprises me. They traded for him just to not play him? He has legit star potential.
What comes after 3? Because I want to be prepared for tomorrow's TWolves game against the Mavs.
He was never going to win it anyway. I don't have the time to look it up, but I would be curious to know how many ROYs over the past 20 years have been on playoff teams. It can't be that many. Only thing that would change that for Dillingham would be an injury to AntMan.
Minnesota traded away future assets to get him. They see Dillingham as the PG of the future unless they have discovered something majorly wrong with him. That said, I would have expected him to have more minutes than Bronny at this point.
RD is too small to play the 2. And is not a 1.
Can he become a 1?
Maybe?
He doesn’t guard either.
He has the ability to be a decent defender. It’s up to him to want to.

That’s wrong. The NBA is all about defense.
If a guy can’t guard his NBA days are numbered unless his offense is superstar good.
Tyler Herro is possibly the worst defender in the league. He is a very good scorer but not superstar good. He will still be in the league for a long time and make over half a billion dollars.
Rob led all rookies in assists per game and ast/to ratio in the preseason. In just under 20 minutes a game he averaged 5 assists and only 1 turnover a game.
He was also 2nd in assists per game (7.6) among rookies in summer league as well. The only player ahead of him was Isaiah Stevens who is 23 years old.
Reed played 3 minutes tonight.

Here's a writeup about Rob's lack of PT.
This was written after 2 straight DNP's, it's grown to 5 now.

This article gives a minutes played per game for lottery picks.
Rob is the only lotto pick yet to log a minute.
Speaking of this @ralphdaltonfan i know you have noticed how bad the Bucks have been since that overrated team killer Doc Rivers took over. 20-27 since they made that move and now they look really bad. The Grizzly’s tore them up last night.
Apparently Leon Rose took the team away from that fool James Dolan because they have made great moves since they got some key guys in the organization.
Too young? Too thin? Goes solo too much?
I don't know. He didn't scream pro material to me, but I'm hardly sought after for my ability as a talent evaluator. In the run up to last season, there was a game between a bunch of All-Stars and Reed Shepard's team. Mid-West something. Anyway, Dillingham was the PG for the All-Stars and just disappeared. There are players who can dominate typical athletes, but that's their ceiling. They never get it going against superior ones. Waaay back in the Joe B days, we had a highly touted small forward who killed it in HS, but whose college career was just a tick above average. Didn't have a pro career at all. That could be Dillingham. At the same time, he might have a low level health issue that kept him out of recent games and he'll be a star next week.
It’s crazy, they are DNP Terrance Shannon too. Both of their first round picks. I don’t know what the strategy is, maybe let them sit and come along slow until next year?
They give Joe Ingles about 5 min a game but out side of that it's just Naz Reid, Walker and Donte off the bench.
They also seem to be limiting Conley's min which makes the Rob situation even more bizarre.
