In the NBA Draft, betting on a guard coming out of Kentucky is rarely a bad idea. Just ask Devin Booker, Tyrese Maxey, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the list goes on. Unfortunately for the Minnesota Timberwolves, the one exception to this rule appears to be Rob Dillingham.
Following a promising season at Kentucky, the Timberwolves selected Dillingham with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. They already seem to be regretting that draft decision.
It's incredibly early in his career, and too early to definitively declare a 21-year-old a bust, especially when guards take so long to develop in the NBA.
