He never played Pg at Kentucky


I will repeat myself because it didn't take (apparently).

Reed was the PG 90% of the time. Go back and watch the tape of the second platoon

For the third time. I'm confused. You watched Rob Dillingham at Kentucky and didn't think he was a point guard?

Maybe you'll get it eventually.

again, Dilly led Kentucky in assists per 100 possessions. if he was only the PG "10% of the time" that's probably an indictment on whoever was PG 90% of the time.

That’s not how I remember them playing last season but I’m happy to be proven wrong. From what I recall - Shep was the full time backup Pg

Did you (like the OP) actually watch Dillingham at all last season and somehow were convinced he doesn’t have point guard skills? I mean did you really think that? That’s wild that you needed a lineup card to tell you what position he can play. He is obviously a point guard.

He is shooting 49% from three, glad to see him find some success there but a lot of the concerns about him as a prospect are still looming. Worst Def EPM on the Twolves, as mentioned zero physicality = 0 FTA. The playmaking is a mixed bag his assists are impressive but he is also rocking a 22% TO% which is near the worst in the league.

I still think the most likely outcome for his career is sparkplug off the bench but he is filling that role for the Grizz nicely and with #8 in this weak class that could be a fine use of the pick.
