What is a good comparison of Dilly's development arc after year one? I see him behind SGA, Billups, JMurray, Giddey, and Nembhard. Maybe close to Dennis Schroder but ahead of Tre Jones.

Realistically, what level can he end up?
I think he will be very likely a better player than Tyrus Jones or Clarkson.

If hes not better than Tyus or Clarkson I would be really surprised, that'd be worst possible outcome.

I'm still really high on Rob despite not playing much as a rookie. I feel like hes got a really high offensive peak, but obviously he will struggle defensively. I think he showed me hes better on defense than originally thought though. He puts in a lot of effort and seems to have a good understanding of positioning.

I can still see a Garland level of player, or lesser outcome is a Colin Sexton type?

He is still only 20, lol

Honestly the Timberwolves can only rise if Rob is good. If he's good we have a chance at a championship. If he's not we will still have a conference finalist ceiling.

Honestly, might be Jeff Teague.

I'm just saying where we are at after Year 1, which was the question posed.

Teague was drafted to a young Atlanta roster, which was coming off a 47-win season and an Eastern Conference semis run. Despite an overall young roster, Teague was drafted as a development piece behind the older Mike Bibby who was starting to decline and see his minutes reduced. While Teague played 71 games, he was the 9th man and played only 10.1 mpg as the team again went to the Eastern semis after a 53-win season.

If you are looking for markers of comparison for Dillingham, these are aspects that should be considered.

It is a fair comparison. Teague did make one all star appearance. By the time he signed with Wolves, he was on the down side of his career. I actually think Dilly may have better IQ than Teague

I'd be thrilled if Dilly ends up as good as Teague. We got him when he was starting to decline. He was great with the Hawks.

Yeah, a Jeff Teague career-arc would be a success at #8. Can't be mad at getting a fringe All-Star in the mid-Lottery.

Read on Twitter

I wonder if Rob job to run defense will be much much easier when one of Beringer or Zikarsky will set screens and roll hard to the basket. Or when Beringer or Zikarsky rebound the ball, while TJ and Clark run in transition

What do you guys expect of Dillingham in Year 2?

I had him #1 on my board for last draft since he was one of the only players with true star potential in the draft.

I don't think much has changed from my priors off 1 year on a great team while getting buried behind a swath of guard talent.

Dilly definitely has the offensive skills that could be star like if he plays to his full potential. He has size height weight similarity to Trae Young. He doesn't have the shot/range of Young. I can see him, given 30 Minutes or more, scoring 20 with 7 assists. He will give most of that back on defense.

Dillingham is a better shooter than Trae. I appreciate the response!

I think that sounds about right (maybe a hint generous,) for his ceiling. However, I fear his floor will prevent him from getting the minutes to find out. I would love to be wrong about him, time will tell.

I'm glad to hear you say the bolded. I'm sad to read the underlined even though you could be right.

I don't think so. I hope you're right.
