Second-year guard Rob Dillingham is primed for a bigger role with the Minnesota Timberwolves this season. Dillingham is a gifted scorer and playmaker. However, many of Dillingham's doubters point to his slight 6-foot-1 frame as a fatal flaw. When looking around the league, though, there are a number of productive small guards, one being Cleveland Cavaliers star Darius Garland.
If Dillingham reaches his ceiling, Garland is a fair comparison. Undoubtedly, the two shifty guards have similar playstyles, and Dillingham should be trying to emulate aspects of Garland's game.
Garland and Dillingham score in similar ways
Dillingham is listed at 6-foot-1, 176 pounds per Basketball Reference, and Garland is similarly listed at 6-foot-1, 192 pounds.
