There were some who thought that Rob Dillingham could suffer a draft night fall due to size concerns and questions about his defense. However, with the eighth overall pick, the San Antonio Spurs drafted him, and then traded him to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Dillingham is was one of the most exciting players in all of college basketball last season. His quickness got him to the basket where he made impossible shots, and his ability to get hot from three-point range made him a fan favorite.
Despite coming off the bench, Dillingham could score in bunches, and made a number of clutch shots for the Wildcats. He was also a very good passer once he got into the lane.
Now, Dillingham heads to Minnesota to play with a former Wildcat and number one pick Karl-Anthony Towns. Defense is a big question mark for Dillingham, but fans will love his speed and his swagger. Big Blue Nation wishes him good luck in the NBA.
