Second-year guard Rob Dillingham is poised for a bigger role with the Minnesota Timberwolves this year. With Mike Conley turning 38 in October and Nickeil Alexander-Walker leaving, there's a clear path to open minutes for the 2024 lottery pick. However, the main concern with Dillingham has been his defense. Given his slight 6-foot-1 frame, this is reasonable, and he will always be matchup hunted.
Nevertheless, Dillingham's defense is better than some may think. Recently, Ben Pfeifer broke down Dillingham's rookie season and role with the team next season. Pfeifer closed out his video by discussing Dillingham's defense.
