Second-year guard Rob Dillingham is struggling to find his footing in the Minnesota Timberwolves rotation. Dillingham was widely expected to assume a bigger role following the loss of Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Mike Conley aging. However, the Kentucky product is averaging just 10.1 minutes (a reduction from last year), 3.7 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 2.0 assists on 34.8/28.6/69.2 shooting splits.
During Monday night's 108-105 loss to the Phoenix Suns, things went from bad to worse for Dillingham as he didn't see the court. Instead, Chris Finch turned to Bones Hyland, who played 15:47 minutes, including 6:52 minutes in the fourth quarter.
