Timberwolves’ Rob Dillingham gamble will pay off come January

The Minnesota Timberwolves are set to unleash second-year point guard Rob Dillingham. This certainly is a risk, given Dillingham's size and slender frame (6-foot-1) paired with the fact that he didn't play much as a rookie. However, by the middle of the season, Minnesota's vision with Dillingham will be clear, and this decision will pay off.

Dillingham perfectly fits the Wolves' needs

Dillingham averaged just 10.5 minutes, 4.5 points, and 2 assists across 49 games as a rookie. However, he showed flashes of his upside, notching 10-plus points eight times despite only exceeding 25 minutes once.
