I see him as a no doubt star in the NBA after one SL game. Hopefully I wasn't fooled.

Still not sure why Rocco played 3:48 compared to Jed’s 15:35? Weird choice.

The better question is whether he is an NBA ready backup, I think he showed he will probably struggle a bit with pace and conditioning, and has room to improve in rebounding. But, that is true of most backup Cs in the NBA. He should be in the rotation from game 1.

Regarding Dilly I feel like he needs to show how to initiate pick-n-roll, setup plays. I mean he has Beringer he is raw and does not always understand angles and timing. Rocco is huge, but he also should learn all little nuances of the game. Today I did not like even one DHO, one pick-n-roll with Dilly and bigs. But hopefully it can be fixed with chemistry and continuity. At this point I think Finch MUST play Rob and Joan all garbage minutes and try them as backups for Gobert and DDV/Conley

Nice to see you've got him as a rotation player already. He's 18 and IMO he looks like a child. It wasn't against NBA players, but he sure didn't struggle at all in this SL game.

As some here would say: "painful to watch"

He defended Missi quite well. Missi was a starting C last year and a top 10 rookie last year.

I'm continuing to watch SL games today. Wall to Wall Basketball.

Dilly had a pretty bad day shooting but to me I saw the opposite of last year. Last year he looked lost and just playing street basketball. This year he looked frustrated that the offense wasn't being executed properly. There were about a half dozen wide open shots he created that dudes just bricked and two of those turnovers were him passing to where guys should have been but weren't. Remember, he's playing the point which means everything is on him. Other guys can sit back and let the game come to them, the point has to push the issue.

I thought he looked engaged and at least schematically competent on defense. I thought he made a number of really good passes. And I think he shot like crap and let that struggle bleed into his game a bit as time ticked away.

My guess is he looks a lot better as these guys get more used to each other.

We need Dilly to be good. It's as simple as that.

We may need it, but that doesn’t mean we get it. He didn’t look G league worthy today.

Did we get Joan of Arc or Joan Rivers today?

We got Joan Beringer and he looks like a future DPOY tbh.

I think I said somewhere else that I think he can come in and be at least Jaxson Hayes right away. That's honestly not bad.

Sorry I changed my mind. I'm watching the Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix. Written by the same Novelist as Bosch. Love them both.

Yeah, realistically Minnesota just needs 8-10 minutes a night out of him. Even if he is bad in those minutes, at least he plays hard and runs the floor.

I will say that Minnesota might be cooked if Rudy gets injured, but we will worry about that when it happens.
