After an exciting first season with the Kentucky Wildcats, talented freshman guard Rob Dillingham officially announced Tuesday afternoon that he would officially be foregoing his remaining collegiate eligibility to enter the 2024 NBA Draft.
This past season, Dillingham was a key factor in Kentucky’s success, as the guard averaged 15.2 PPG, 2.9 RPG, and 3.9 APG. Dillingham also ranked among the SEC’s leaders with a 44.4 3P%, while also shooting 47.5% from the field, as well as 79.6% at the free throw line.
As you’d expect with those numbers, Dillingham certainly received multiple honors this past season as well, headlined by the 2023-24 SEC Sixth Man of the Year. Starting only 1-of-32 games, Dillingham also was named Second Team All-SEC and SEC All-Freshman.
Dillingham is projected to be a top 10 pick in the upcoming NBA draft.
