It's not a secret that the Minnesota Timberwolves need a point guard. Mike Conley is 38 and has declined as a shot creator and athlete. Many people were hoping that second-year guard Rob Dillingham would be able to take on a bigger role, so the team could lean on Conley less. Unfortunately, Dillingham's preseason showed that he still needs more time to develop.
Dillingham posted respectable averages of 11.8 points, 6.3 assists, and 1.7 rebounds on 45.3/47.1/62.5 shooting splits. However, if you remove a game against the Guangzhou Loong Lions, Dillingham's averages fall to 8.8/6/1.6 on 38/30.
