In theory, the Minnesota Timberwolves had their point guard situation perfectly planned for years to come. When Mike Conley was no longer a starter-caliber player, he would hand the baton off to 2024 No. 8 overall pick Rob Dillingham, who would be a perfect backcourt mate to Anthony Edwards.
Well, the time has come for Conley to be a second-unit guy... but Rob Dillingham is nowhere to be seen. Instead, Conley's old position is now occupied by Donte DiVincenzo, who is not a point guard. And Rob Dillingham is riding the bench.
At least, that was the case in the season opener.
