Pretty high praise for Dillingham coming from Missouri’s coach Gates .
“He’s probably the best isolation player in college basketball, that’s what I believe.”
- Thread starter yoshukai
- Start date
I gotta say as I was watching the game tonight, a similar thought came to my mind. I think he’s the most skilled guard we have. Reed has the highest basketball IQ and is the purest shooter, DJ might be the best finisher around the rim, but Rob is the quickest, best handler, and the best at getting off his shot. I think he’ll end up as the best pro.
I agree. I think Rob is going to be a superstar
Rob's energy and somewhat unorthodox style of play will make him an electric pro.
Yep, he looks to me like a player who’s gonna thrive in the NBA. His game is very well suited for his intended future.
He may even end up joining Booker as the answer to the trivia question: what NBA All-Star never started a single game for his college team?

Not the first person, or coach for that matter, that Ive heard echo that sentiment.
I dunno… DJ is pretty damn good in iso as well. To be a great finisher you have to get to the rim first, and he gets there with ease. Becoming a confident shooter too. I love Rob, but DJ continues to be undervalued IMO.
Dillingham’s comp is Iverson.
Sheppard’s is Nash.
Wagner’s is Rose.
Very nice 3-some. But yeah, RD will be the best pro. But I think all 3 have a chance to start for NBA team at some point.
He's going to be the best player in College Basketball once March gets here!
He is pretty nasty, I love when he gets a one on one and sizes up the defender with his pretty dribble and makes a move to the basket. He’s got a lot of tools in his bag.
Wagner does drive like Rose, both had about the same kinda Jumper but Rose was way faster and more athletic.
Reed may end up there as well, he could be a high level starter/6th man like Herro at least that scores 20 a game and fills the stat sheet every night. All-Star teams are hard AF to make but both could do it one day.
Outside of our boy Sheppard, Dilly is my favorite player on the squad. I wish he could play 35 minutes a game sometimes. I do love our balance though, and sometimes he gets too wild, reckless, and he needs a break.

These threads that react to one game amuse me. Dillingham was great tonight, but sucked against Florida. He is good, could be great. But let's let this team play as a group and agree that everyone is talented. Hell, in the first 2 minutes of the game you would have thought that Mitchell was Kevin Durant.
Swen Nater was an ABA All Star. He is the only player to lead the ABA and NBA in rebounding. He never started a game at UCLA averaging 3.2 ppg and 3.3 rpg behind Bill Walton.
I need some R & R with Da Juice!!!!🤣🤣🤣
(Rob, Reed & DJ) I know, corny!!
GO BIG BLUE!!!💙💙💙
Dillingham and Sheppard both need to cut down on the mistakes/lapses but they (along with Wagner) are our most dynamic players for sure.
Edited to add: Thiero may not be quite the same offensive playmaker but he's dynamic in his own way when healthy and I really hope we get him back to 100% soon. We need him.

I totally agree.
Every time I see him jump, I think he's going to jump out of his ....
SNEAKers !
lol
Makes it all the more impressive he's as selfless as he is. Kid could really probably get 30 a night. He's incredible
We are actually reacting to a comment made by an opposing coach, not as much to the game. Yes he was bad against Florida. There will be games where Rob is the best player on the court and others where he gives us a bunch of WTF moments.
So funny after Summer trip to Canada so many Kentucky fans were messaging him to transfer. Wonder who? Ha
What? "So many" Kentucky fans were messaging him to transfer? Excuse me?
Kevin Durant is a very selfish player. The struggles with the Suns this year is on Durant. Whatever is going on inside the locker room, it's serious.
Booker rarely shows heated emotion, but he's frustrated with Durant while Durant is upset with the coach and staff. Whatever is going on with the team, it's serious.
Durant is in a bad habit of wearing out his welcome wherever he goes, it's going to tarnish his legacy a bit IMO
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they give up a ton to get Durant? The Suns seemed better without him compared to now.
Durant's pointing fingers at everyone but himself. He's a classic narcissist
Umm ….OK?
You’re entitled to that opinion of Durant, but I’m not sure what it has to do with the post you responded to. Did you think I was trying to blame Booker for something?
No, I figured someone would point this out lol. I should have said this is a tagent comment. I was reading about an article concerning the Suns. That's why I said it.
I know you're not blaming Booker.
I love Rob on the offensive end. But, he's not great on the other end. He gets beat quite often and then tries to block shots from behind. Gets called every time. He leads the team in fouls because of it even though he's 6th in playing time. Clean that up and then he'll be unstoppable. We know he has the quickness.
