During the low season, the Minnesota Timberwolves have had opportunities to upgrade their point guard position, both in the design and in the free desk. However, they have chosen to stand Pat, which reflects a strong faith in the second -year guard Rob Dillingham. Moreover, the reported offer of the wolves for Kevin Durant Dillingham did not include. With Mike Conley Aging and Nickeil Alexander-Walker who leave, Dillingham is ready for a massive role in his second season.
Dillingham only played 10.5 minutes and appeared in 49 games as Rookie. Dillingham, however, showed his benefit as a scorer and playmaker in his limited minutes. In particular, he registered 10-plus points in eight games despite only 20 minutes six times more than 20 minutes. The approach of the wolves of the low season emphasizes their belief in Dillingham.
The faith of the wolves in Dillingham is clear
During the NBA design of 2024, Minnesota exchanged two future first round picks to the San Antonio Spurs to set up Dillingham. Given the design capital, the Wolven gave land to Dillingham; It makes sense to give him an increased role, especially because they need more waiting game. Although the Wolven has title loop, it is important to develop young talent, and that is something that Minnesota seems to be focused on Dillingham. Given their approach to the low season, the wolves probably considered a pure development year for Dillingham last season and they are now ready to give him a huge role.
Anthony Edwards is ready to compete now, and the core of the wolves explains them to do this. However, support from Edwards with talented young players, including Dillingham, will help expand their title window.
It is crucial that Dillingham’s skills fits into the most important needs of the wolves. During the final of the Western Conference, the lack of shot recording and play of the wolves was exposed. Dillingham can score on all three levels and generate some much needed peripheral pressure. As a playmaker, the dazzling ball handling skills and versatile death of Dillingham will considerably benefit the wolves.

Dillingham is ready for a greater role
Last season Conley was on average 24.7 minutes; However, while he will be 38 for the coming season, Conley will probably need a reduced role, so that opportunities for Dillingham will be opened. Moreover, it became clear in the play -offs that Edwards thrives alongside a traditional point watch. As a result, the wolves look at shaky minutes between Dillingham and Conley.
Many are not sure whether Dillingham can manage an increased role. Despite his attacking gifts, Dillingham’s 6-foot-1 frame and a light build will always make him a defensive target. Consequently, some believe that Dillingham’s defense will be an too much problem for him to handle big minutes in his second season.
However, the wolves have the size and defensive infrastructure to cover the weak points of Dillingham. He also competes for the defense and steals at a high level. In general, the faith of the wolves in Dillingham is clear, because they have chosen not to upgrade their point watch depth this summer, even though they have enough options for this. This, in combination with Dillingham’s incredible offensive benefit, should make fans enthusiastic about his impact and role when the season is approaching.
