Ya’ll need to chill. This is GREAT for Rob. No pressure for him to perform every night. He only 19 and gets to learn under Mike Conley. Realistically with the additions of Randle and Divencenzo, wolves need time to get on the same page. As long as he keeps working, he will get more time. He’s the future for this wolves team 💪🏽
@@kingkaid3n969he’s getting game time, albeit garbage time. As long as he performs when he gets time, he will get more especially if the team isn’t doing well. Hopefully he doesn’t listen to the impatient people around him or on here trying to rush his development. He can have a long successful career, if he just stays focussed on his craft.
Mike conley sucks tho. And our team is 27th in fast break points. Why have all these young guys and not play uptempo. I think finch is a mid tier coach who sucks at adjustments
@@KevinjHiggsmike conley is a true point guard. Facilitating the ball. U sound like you don’t know anything about basketball 😂 Defense is what gets u minutes… rob has ZERO defense gets blew by every play 😂
@@KevinjHiggsand i’ve been watching wolves games hella just telling u what i see😂 pretty deep team too unless smb get injured this a learning year for him
As a wolves fan, I'm glad we got him and I'm glad he's riding the bench rn. Mike Conley is 37 years old and will be retiring soon. As a Rob Dill fan, wishing he was getting minutes and spotlight right now. Dude can be special and I can only imagine how he'd perform alongside Wemby with actual starting minutes. I think spurs made a good choice going with CP3 for now though. Wemby can use all the veteran guidance he can get
They need to start finding mins for Rob.. Conley has been underwelming so far this season and if you keep this kid buried at the end of the bench it could mess with his confidence.. He should be getting spot mins he a 1st rd pick for a reason.. damn Rob's size and his defense rn, the Twolves have plenty of wing defenders that can help Rob out, They need his shot creating ability out there..
If Dillingham isn't getting in the rotation by January, you can worry. Once the starters get on the same page, Finch will want to add players that can bring pace for transition scores. Rob can do that better than any other player on this team.
As much as I want him to play it won't be serious minutes he got plenty to learn playing behind Mike Conley right now Rob just needs development minutes because he's not a scrub if he can get 15 minutes a game right now that would be great
Yes, the trade bringing in DiVincenzo is slowing his in-game development, but let's not act like Conley is not older and playing on finicky hamstrings, Rob's time can come at any moment! In the meantime he will get stronger and learn the defensive scheme of the Wolves while improving on his strengths. I pray that some of you all never become GMs one day, Sheesh! lol
It’s not really raising any concerns… we have players who have the minutes the play for a reason. Rob needs to develop in many ways and he’s lucky to have the T-Wolves to help him develop. This is a goofy ass video.
@@justpitiful6339no tf he’s not lol dude stop watching highlight and actually watch the games 😭😭😭 dawg rob is gonna be okay let Minnesota build their chemistry with the new additions first sheesh
@@justpitiful6339As a Wolves fan if we give away two first round picks for a guy than yeah I expect him to play I agree. On those terms the office must have thought he’s a future star so f*ck all that development stuff play him.
I knew this was a horrible spot for him when SA traded him there . He doesn’t fit Minnesota schematically. The NBA has a young guard problem as a whole . The league is too deep at that position, there’s essentially a waiting list. Secondly playing on a team with win now attitude is not good for a young guard cause the leash is too short. You gotta go somewhere you can develop.
I don't think being on a bad team and having a long leash early is necessarily better for a young player's development. I say this for a multitude of reasons. 1. A young player being forced to earn minutes can help that player work harder and understand mistakes will not be rewarded. 2. If winning is an expectation that player learns to win and doesn't get complacent. 3. Bad habits are taken care of early because if you do bad things then there will be consequences.
@@SeekingNewHeights777i’m thinking he’s gonna get that, right now the wolves are running a 9 man rotation but their roster construction and what chris finch usually wants to run is more like a 10 or even 11 man rotation, i don’t think we should overreact. don’t forget chris finch almost won coty last year, he knows what he’s doing. i think he’s going to make rob and shannon jr improve on what they can, for rob that’s defense and putting in effort on every play, and make them earn their rotation spot
@rickystackss spot on! I want Rob to play too, but Finch is definitely making the right move on letting them work and improve on weakness first. I mean Josh Minot has been getting early minutes the last few games over Joe Ingles. So he's playing the young guys when they're ready. People tend to forget that these rookies are good but these vets are 10x better. You'll get your feelings hurt quick being unprepared stepping on the court .
I think what really hurt his playing minutes was the KAT trade. Why trust a young, unproven pg when you have a perfectly acceptable secondary playmaker off the bench that can do it all in Donte Divincenzo?
nba gm’s ruin careers based off using old scales to measure talent. rob should definitely be playing . guards like immanuel quickly trae young or darius garland are no different than robs playing style. i think the problem is that they are trying to make him into a point guard. rob has always been a SG and thrives on the wing. not hard to see shit like that when u know the game. bro can’t play over joe ingles? why draft him so high
Rob will get his time. Y’all need to chill. He is a young player on a contending team. Let him get some time developing and then he will get playing time over old man conley. I agree he could get ingals minutes but it’s not like he plays much. He is just an older smarter player you can trust.
? I haven't watched the video yet. I have an ad running pre-video, but - Dillingham has no problem. Dillingham is on a team that could net him a championship ring. Dillingham see's no problem in a ring. But I love your show! Peace!
The reason why is that we have Dante, Naz, and Alexander walker off the bench and those three are just better right now. Rob has plenty of time to learn now and probably steps into a bench roll once Conley leaves
Im excited to see Rob over the next few years. He has Iverson handles and moves but he is the MOST underrated passer in the draft. He has the bball acumen and physical skills to be a solid starting PG. He will not just be a sixth man microwave scorer.
It’s looking like he should’ve never been traded for… (not playing him at all or playing him 2-3 minutes in garbage time does nothing but stint his growth)
Rob Dillingham is not going to play much at all this year. Wolves fans don't want to hear this but this year is 99% a transition year to what they are trying to build into Anthony Edwards prime. Rob is a small guard playing the hardest position to learn in the NBA so it's obvious he's going to have to sit and learn.
Starting Conley and getting donte having of the bench and for a coach you concentrate on defense it's a waste of talents not playing him coming off the bench its classic miscommunication gm to coach I don't see him playing a lot this season I don't why would you trade for him if your not playing him
Too much stashing going on in the league, teams trying to drive down these players value and asking price when they turn UFA it’s disgusting, it’s time for 2 more expansion teams.
Rob isn't a ball dominant PG... he wasn't playing that way at overtime elite and he wasn't doing that during his time with Kentucky.. he played that way during the preseason to showcase his scoring but he can in fact be a pass first PG. Personally I would be playing him at least 10 min a game right now.
@ what I'm saying is he can coexist with other alphas on the court as he did in the overtime elite league and at Kentucky. I didn't say he doesn't need the ball or shouldn't have ball whatever point you were making. Ball dominance doesn't necessarily mean he's has the ball all the time, it's his effect on the game. Rob can be high effective PG... he can facilitate/defer to other players like AE, Jaden McDaniels, DD, and he also has the tools to create his own shot, I believe that was one of the bright spots on the scouting report for him is shot creation. If he learns how to put it all together which I personally think he will, his career will be long and successful.
@@BattleTruth My brother, I’ve watched every Wolves game for the last two years. They started 2-2 last year. I promise you. They lost their first game, and they lost their third game. Then they went on a 7 game winning streak, improving their record to 9-2.
If Rob shows he is consistently better at filling a need that aids winning, he'll play. This team has a strong bench after the KAT trade, and the other backup guards on the team (NAW and DDV) are playing very very well right now. Rob is 19, he is not waisting away.
I live in Louisville Kentucky, I'm a lifelong Kentucky wildcats fan.. Rob is awesome. Great personality, great skill, & a high ceiling.. but in my personal opinion.. the Lakers got the ABSOLUTE STEAL of the draft somehow securing Dalton Knecht.
He should not sign the rookie extension. When his contract ends, he should go to PHX. By that time Bol Bol will be evolved to the levels of Chet and Wemby.
This is why a team such as the raptors should end up with the number 1 pick next season. They know how to develop young players. You don't want to toss a Cooper Flagg onto a detritus, washington nor even good teams such as this scenario. Coaches just expect players to learn on the fly without even allowing them to have experience. Or other teams just tossing players in to play without a game plan.
True for a starting guard but I think he could definitely be 20-30 min backup/6th man putting up some good scoring and assist numbers like Scottie Pippin jr is doing right now, (just saying up to 30 mins if maybe the starting PG having a off night with shooting and some TO)
Look Dillingham is more than ready look what he did in 1 year of college THIS KID IS JAMAL CRAWFORD AND PENNY HARDAWAY IN ONE ALSO ISIAH WAS 19 WHEN HE CAME HERE MAGIC WAS 20 IN THE FINALS HELL KG I MEAN YALL GOT THE ROTY ON THE FUCKING BENCH SHIT SEND HIM TO DETROIT WE NEED HIM
Stop watching highlights dude! Watch the games! This is good for Rob’s development he can learn and grow and when his opportunities come he’ll shine and take advantage of it
As a Boston Celtics fan the Wolves need to play him soon if they want to make a push in the playoffs plus alot of Rookies in the MLB, NBA, NFL, also Fiba need to work on there game but some of them get drafted to a system that will helped them💯
He’s a rookie, this ball club is coming off a WCF appearance he’s the future starter right now it benefits him to watch Conley and learn he’ll get minutes but look forward to the next 2-3 seasons for him. He has to get stronger and he has to improve defensively.
Their justvtrying to build team chemistry quickly. Randle, Ant and Rudy could play fewer minutes (-3), but the 10 minutes a game is needed to learn to play off each other.
I'm a wolves fan, and I'm glad we traded for Rob because he has great talents at a young age. HE'S ONLY NINETEEN!!! He's only going to improve especially w/ Mike Conley being able to coach him. Mike doesn't play back to back games, so Rob will come off the bench and will probably get more minutes, especially because the wolves don't have a TRUE PG off the bench (someone who is able to bring the ball up the court with ease on a press and can see the floor well). Currently their backup PG is Donte, but he is more of a SG. Mike Conley will probably retire next year, so Rob will get more minutes and maybe start later in the year.
Not a problem. He is a rookie and will benefit greatly from not being forced to play early. It is the perfect situation for him and Minny. Rob will be a contributor by the end of the season. Watch
the addition of DDV really caused this but it isn't an issue. the twolves are just super deep right now and want to get as many minutes into their top 8 guys as possible to get the kinks ironed out as they basically didn't have a training camp as this core unit. rob gonna start getting more minutes after ~20 games or so when the coaches have had a good look at the core group. just develop under conley and stay ready. he will get opportunities. this will help his development in the long run i feel.
Y'all keep talking about learn from Conley when he already better than Conley offensively he a star in the making and if them clowns don't wanna play him then send him to New Orleans they need him
Such retarded ass logic. “Why draft him” hmmm I don’t know maybe cause he could become something special. Why are you acting like rookies typically come out of the gates performing at a high level for their team? Wolves drafted him cause Conley is on his way to retiring and they will need a replacement. God it’s frustrating how dumb this entire comment section is🤦🏼♂️ bro is acting like rookies are signed to a 1 year deal
They really don’t. They have a fundamentally different offense that they are installing and evolving, They have Randle and DDV and a new look Naz Reid to guy oriented and comfortable. This will take a few weeks to pull off with the first and second team players. Dillingham will start getting his time soon enough.
REACH!!! YOU BE REACHING HARD for content. The only problem here is people put there own expectation on Rob when he was drafted. He is on the perfect team to develop. Yeah the Timberwolves suck at developing draft picks i mean outside of Anthony Edwards of course but yet you fail to say where these draft picks have been. Which lottery player did the wolves not develop in the 2022 or 2023 draft? He's not ready to play right now but has all the right pieces in place to develop and it's not going to get handed to him on the second best team in the West. Please tell me another lottery pick for a WCF teams the year prior you got playing time. Your click bait game is strong but no subscribe for me my guy.
Dude, this not a problem at all. We kept Conley and drafted him so Conley could train him for a year, which is exactly what's happening. It is great for the 19 year old to sit and learn from the bench from a great teacher like Conley
Imagine it's 2030... Timberwolves record is 20-62. ANT left because Minnesota sucks. Dillingham left because he could only pull a contract from the Shanghai Sharks. Spurs, fresh off of their back to back titles, are going for the threepeat. Led by the 2 time MVP, WEMBY, the Spurs are looking forward to adding 2 top 5 picks in a row from the basement-dewellimg wolves. This trade was AMAZING for the Spurs
It was smart on there end. They got two future first rounds now. It would make more sense to develop Wemby than build a team around him even if it’s vets. It’s not like they were gon win the finals this year with Dillingham now by the time he’s developed they will have 2 first round picks in year 2030-2031
They sick of the fans hyping up guards I guess🤷🏾♂️ Markell, Scoot, Dennis smith, Suggs…. Funny enough Rob Smaller than all of them dudes and More skilled. He’s not hype. He’s the GOODS
physicals dont translate yet. give him a year or so. still a teenager body guarding grown men. if he was on a losing team he'd play more but they cant just have him out there for 15 minutes getting cooked on defense when trying to be a top team in the West.
Definitely not. By the end of the day Gobert is still one of the best defensive centers in the league. Towns has been declining he had a great career with us but we needed more depth and draft picks back after getting Dillingham.
Very true, I love Kat but we pay him like a top 10 player and he’s not a top 10 player and he’ll ask for max money again. Gobert actually is top 5 defensive player
@@shaun7739 they're playing the long game with him. Without the Towns/Randle trade, he might have gotten the last rotation spot but now they don't have to shoehorn him into minutes (and Finch only plays 8 guys, 9 at the most). Right now he's just learning from Conley and once he starts missing games, then Rob will get an opportunity to play. He just happens to be in a unique situation. While Cam Thomas is coming along nicely, he's on the last year of his rookie deal and will cost a fortune, which a team like Minnesota isn't gonna pay since they're gonna wanna get under the 2nd apron. Dillingham is a long term investment who would be the cheapest player of the Gobert/Naz/McDaniels/Ant/Dillingham core with DiVincenzo off the bench at below market value.
@bxrep19 yeah we're essentially saying the same thing. Rob is a long term prospect but I think they made the right decision in the end. I just wouldn't expect the T wolves to compete like last year
LOL who cares. No rookie is ready to compete on the level the Wolves are on... or at least not at age 19. They have reliable back up PG play from Donte and Ant, so he can sit back for a while.
Very good quality on the vid bro you’re up to par with huge nba creators, but this choice of topic for the video is just pointless, it’s way too early and this is a team that just made the conference finals and is finding their rotation and chemistry, not a shocker that Rob will be the designated Gatorade bottle passer this season
Were less than 10 games into the season calm down. Injuries will happen and Conley won’t play every game. He’ll get minutes. And idk why people are freaking out about a team that was in the wcf not giving minutes to their super young rookie guard. This isn’t a rebuilding team why would they force him out there? He’s 19 years old it’s not a problem at all if he’s not a consistent part of the rotation this year. Yall get so caught up in the hype that you don’t actually think about it from a coaches perspective.
He's Darius Garland and the Wolves are sitting on him lol
This is what the sixers did with maxey. Sat him behind an older future HOFer guard and learn. And I mean look at maxey now! Dillingham will be fine

He’s a rookie, this ball club is coming off a WCF appearance he’s the future starter right now it benefits him to watch Conley and learn he’ll get minutes but look forward to the next 2-3 seasons for him. He has to get stronger and he has to improve defensively.
It’s a sign of our depth! He looked great against charlottes starters
Donte took all his minutes .
Their justvtrying to build team chemistry quickly. Randle, Ant and Rudy could play fewer minutes (-3), but the 10 minutes a game is needed to learn to play off each other.
He needs to put on some good weight. The game is physical and he is in the perfect spot to grow and learn in a winning culture.
I'm a wolves fan, and I'm glad we traded for Rob because he has great talents at a young age. HE'S ONLY NINETEEN!!! He's only going to improve especially w/ Mike Conley being able to coach him. Mike doesn't play back to back games, so Rob will come off the bench and will probably get more minutes, especially because the wolves don't have a TRUE PG off the bench (someone who is able to bring the ball up the court with ease on a press and can see the floor well). Currently their backup PG is Donte, but he is more of a SG. Mike Conley will probably retire next year, so Rob will get more minutes and maybe start later in the year.
Lay off the 2k, the timberwolves are letting him get mentored by Conley and boost up his confidence when the time comes for him.
Wish San Antonio kept him a Dillingham Castle Vassell Sochan and Wemby lineup would’ve gone crazy
Not a problem. He is a rookie and will benefit greatly from not being forced to play early. It is the perfect situation for him and Minny. Rob will be a contributor by the end of the season. Watch
"but until next time"
yawn.
He reminds me of Bones Human but smaller. He's not 6'2, him and Conley are the same height. Garland's almost 6'3. Size is going to hurt him a lot.
He should request a trade
Can’t he a rookie
the addition of DDV really caused this but it isn't an issue. the twolves are just super deep right now and want to get as many minutes into their top 8 guys as possible to get the kinks ironed out as they basically didn't have a training camp as this core unit. rob gonna start getting more minutes after ~20 games or so when the coaches have had a good look at the core group. just develop under conley and stay ready. he will get opportunities. this will help his development in the long run i feel.
Y'all keep talking about learn from Conley when he already better than Conley offensively he a star in the making and if them clowns don't wanna play him then send him to New Orleans they need him
@@supatay1181lol ok buddy
So why even bother drafting him 😮shoulda let the bulls or the nets draft him
Such retarded ass logic. “Why draft him” hmmm I don’t know maybe cause he could become something special. Why are you acting like rookies typically come out of the gates performing at a high level for their team? Wolves drafted him cause Conley is on his way to retiring and they will need a replacement. God it’s frustrating how dumb this entire comment section is🤦🏼♂️ bro is acting like rookies are signed to a 1 year deal
Hopefully he can develop ability to pass and see the court enough to be useful to his teammates
Rob Dillingham needs to go to the Spurs!! Him & Wemby + a rebounding hustler and a spot up shooting SG would be a dynasty
They really don’t.
They have a fundamentally different offense that they are installing and evolving, They have Randle and DDV and a new look Naz Reid to guy oriented and comfortable.
This will take a few weeks to pull off with the first and second team players.
Dillingham will start getting his time soon enough.
the random trade killed the future rotation. in my opinion; should’ve kept KAT
REACH!!! YOU BE REACHING HARD for content. The only problem here is people put there own expectation on Rob when he was drafted. He is on the perfect team to develop. Yeah the Timberwolves suck at developing draft picks i mean outside of Anthony Edwards of course but yet you fail to say where these draft picks have been. Which lottery player did the wolves not develop in the 2022 or 2023 draft? He's not ready to play right now but has all the right pieces in place to develop and it's not going to get handed to him on the second best team in the West. Please tell me another lottery pick for a WCF teams the year prior you got playing time. Your click bait game is strong but no subscribe for me my guy.
Im sorry, since when did everyone expect rookies being drafted to contenders to actually get hella minutes? 💀
Dude, this not a problem at all. We kept Conley and drafted him so Conley could train him for a year, which is exactly what's happening. It is great for the 19 year old to sit and learn from the bench from a great teacher like Conley
Imagine it's 2030...
Timberwolves record is 20-62. ANT left because Minnesota sucks. Dillingham left because he could only pull a contract from the Shanghai Sharks.
Spurs, fresh off of their back to back titles, are going for the threepeat. Led by the 2 time MVP, WEMBY, the Spurs are looking forward to adding 2 top 5 picks in a row from the basement-dewellimg wolves.
This trade was AMAZING for the Spurs
he should’ve went to the spurs they dumb for trading him
It was smart on there end. They got two future first rounds now. It would make more sense to develop Wemby than build a team around him even if it’s vets. It’s not like they were gon win the finals this year with Dillingham now by the time he’s developed they will have 2 first round picks in year 2030-2031
@@lotus6314Spurs didn't have the room. Trae Jones and Castle behind CP3, Rob needs a team that can develop him
@@amandswright2040 completely agree
I still think Rob was better off on the Spurs with Wembyama and Chris Paul being his mentor, even though the Timberwolves needed a PG.
Yall always saying somebody not ready..put rob in the game and see if he not ready. Mike Conley sucks
Real ish
The Julius Randle trade cooked rob’s playing time bc Donte atp in time does everything that rob can provide rn
They sick of the fans hyping up guards I guess🤷🏾♂️ Markell, Scoot, Dennis smith, Suggs…. Funny enough Rob Smaller than all of them dudes and More skilled. He’s not hype. He’s the GOODS
Season just started he’ll be playing more soon
Finchy doesn't play rookies off the bench. That's one of his flaws as a coach.
physicals dont translate yet. give him a year or so. still a teenager body guarding grown men. if he was on a losing team he'd play more but they cant just have him out there for 15 minutes getting cooked on defense when trying to be a top team in the West.
Pair him with Kyrie and Luka, lol. I would hate to be the defending guards with those two in the backcourt.
Dude it hasn’t even been 20 games RELAX!
Minnesota messing up this young man’s life dude is NBA ready shouldn’t be on the bench point blank
Quality vid!
They need to trust him more!
Joe Ingles has already fallen out of the wolves rotation.
Outta the 30 teams you said his best fit would be the most guard heavy team in the league lol
I mean finch just kinda doesn’t play the young guys
It’s naive to think this tiny PG will contribute on a top 10 team. He won’t be a playoff player until his next contract.
Him and ant man I wanna see fr
They not letting him play
Shoulda traded Gobert instead of Towns…
HELL NO 😭😭
Definitely not. By the end of the day Gobert is still one of the best defensive centers in the league. Towns has been declining he had a great career with us but we needed more depth and draft picks back after getting Dillingham.
Plus we all know once Towns contact was over he was gon ask for big money.
Very true, I love Kat but we pay him like a top 10 player and he’s not a top 10 player and he’ll ask for max money again. Gobert actually is top 5 defensive player
Trade him for Caprla or Jarrett Allen lol y’all slow
Bron should make that call 😂
Someone made this video before the last game….
He can learn from conley and once conley gone he good to go
Don't start gossip and rumors.. Conley cannot stay healthy and he's coming to the line up
He will replace conley, chill we are like 8 games into the season lol
Too early, but but lowkey giving me Sharriffe Cooper vibes
I actually thought about the Sharife comp too. But yeah it might be too early we just have to wait and see
Nah if they wanted an immediate impact they should’ve traded for Cam Thomas. Rob is gonna take 2-3 years
they can't afford Cam Thomas. The benefit to Rob is that he's on a rookie deal.
@bxrep19 what point are you arguing? You think Rob will help them win now?
@@shaun7739 they're playing the long game with him. Without the Towns/Randle trade, he might have gotten the last rotation spot but now they don't have to shoehorn him into minutes (and Finch only plays 8 guys, 9 at the most). Right now he's just learning from Conley and once he starts missing games, then Rob will get an opportunity to play. He just happens to be in a unique situation.
While Cam Thomas is coming along nicely, he's on the last year of his rookie deal and will cost a fortune, which a team like Minnesota isn't gonna pay since they're gonna wanna get under the 2nd apron. Dillingham is a long term investment who would be the cheapest player of the Gobert/Naz/McDaniels/Ant/Dillingham core with DiVincenzo off the bench at below market value.
@bxrep19 yeah we're essentially saying the same thing. Rob is a long term prospect but I think they made the right decision in the end. I just wouldn't expect the T wolves to compete like last year
Conley has been pretty ass to start the season rob should be starting or at the very least getting some minutes but still come off the bench
Criss Finch is why he isn't getting time ...And its inexcusable
LOL who cares. No rookie is ready to compete on the level the Wolves are on... or at least not at age 19. They have reliable back up PG play from Donte and Ant, so he can sit back for a while.
GM needs to be fired ..
For what
Haha this might take the cake for the dumbest comment
*way too early to be making this video..*
Mike is older now and he can’t produce like how he used to, so robs time will come soon
Draymond Green l'analyste basket 😂😂😂😂
its to early to react
the sours shoild of drated him
Why isn’t coach playing him tf??
Very good quality on the vid bro you’re up to par with huge nba creators, but this choice of topic for the video is just pointless, it’s way too early and this is a team that just made the conference finals and is finding their rotation and chemistry, not a shocker that Rob will be the designated Gatorade bottle passer this season
Thanks for the feedback!
They drafted him just Incase conley old azz get hurt
Did the same thing to Tremont Waters… NBA is a joke
Were less than 10 games into the season calm down. Injuries will happen and Conley won’t play every game. He’ll get minutes. And idk why people are freaking out about a team that was in the wcf not giving minutes to their super young rookie guard. This isn’t a rebuilding team why would they force him out there? He’s 19 years old it’s not a problem at all if he’s not a consistent part of the rotation this year. Yall get so caught up in the hype that you don’t actually think about it from a coaches perspective.
Nah they have a coach problem lol
