I'll get blasted for this but don't care. Personally, he reminds me of Brandon Knight coming out of high school. Similar build, very shifty, can stop or go on a dime. Knight had that step on your throat dog in him, from what I've seen Dillingham has some dog in him as well.
Am I the only one that sees him more like Wall-lite.What? Dillingham is 6'1 and 165lbs soaking wet. Brandon Knight was a chiseled 185 and 6'3 with broad shoulders. He was one of those super shredded guys whereas Dilly is a string bean.
Personally I think Dillingham is a lot more like Brandon Jennings, minus the hops.
Yeah his style of play reminds me of Brandon Jennings also .What? Dillingham is 6'1 and 165lbs soaking wet. Brandon Knight was a chiseled 185 and 6'3 with broad shoulders. He was one of those super shredded guys whereas Dilly is a string bean.

I saw some people saying Darius Garland
Between those and the bounce-pass post feeds that always seemed too low for Oscar to handle or so slow that defenders could easily step in and pick them off, I shouted at the TV a lot this past season.4 lazy, one-handed perimeter passes stolen and taken the other way for layups/dunks by Kansas State in this year's NCAAT.
Bringing back bad memories and a frankly still confounding player, BB. Harrow had crazy handles. He had success in college already. He should have been very good. The psych stuff (which I don't pretend to understand or know much about) just shut him down. Does show that there are no guarantees how these players will respond at UK - even ones with college experience.No offense OP, but I swear I heard similar opinions on Ryan Harrow before he got here.
Be interesting to see if Cal boxes him in or let’s him he himself. His entire game is predicated on quickness, shiftiness and change of speed to create. If you reel it in too much then he’s just an undersized guard with average to below average shooting
He’s a “make you dance and exploit the weakness when you get out of position” guy. You force him into structure and he will struggle
My favorite Dillingham Highlight Video is when he was with Donda and played the Boozer Twins and had the crowd going nuts as he went for their neck. I've seen Rob play once against MN Prep at Target Center. He was with JJ Taylor who was the primary reason I went to watch (at time he was talked of as UK target and Rob wasn't) and Dillingham was a killer. Crowd (which was minimal due to playing at Target Center but would've been sold out if in a normal HS gym) was all over him but he won them over and every local for being tough and hitting big shots/making big time plays. He has a lot of "F YOU" to him which this program has lacked for some time.
In that Gold Medal game for the 16U team against Argentina a few years ago he took over the game and just lit them up when Team USA was struggling. He doesn't fear anything-which can be also be an issue for him at times--but the one thing I'd be very surprised with the incoming class is if they are rattled. Some of the Vets UK has brought in the past 3 years have pissed themselves in tough spots/hostile environments. I want killers again. That "F YOU" needs to return and in competitive moments those are the type of guys who usually rise up. Cats were in a battle with season on line and at no point did I think Wallace/Livingston/Oscar were rattled---rest of team...not so much. Sometimes rankings do matter.
For laughs they should chant
"Diiiiiiiiillllllllll......"
whenever he shoots a free throw, and if he misses chant
"Doooooo!"
I wouldn't really do that, but some jerk somewhere is bound to do that, and you have to learn to find humor from within. People take themselves way too seriously.I’m not really down with calling a kid on our team a dildo but you do you.

What was wrong with Ryan?No offense OP, but I swear I heard similar opinions on Ryan Harrow before he got here.
Yea. He’s a playmaker, a finisher, and a lay-up maker. Meaning he finishes in a variety of ways around the rim.How do those handles translate to putting the ball into the hoop?
Our last couple of slashing, assist first PG's, Hagans and Wheeler, spent many possessions missing layups and passing it to the other team. Is he a threat to score on his own?

Alright cool.Yea. He’s a playmaker, a finisher, and a lay-up maker. Meaning he finishes in a variety of ways around the rim.
He’s not one thing like Hagans or Wheeler. He can shoot the ball too.
LOL he is nothing at all like Brandon KnightI'll get blasted for this but don't care. Personally, he reminds me of Brandon Knight coming out of high school.

He was stating that their games were similar, not their height and body-build. They can have some of the same attributes and mindset and not be the exact same height and weight. C'mon maaaannnnn!What? Dillingham is 6'1 and 165lbs soaking wet. Brandon Knight was a chiseled 185 and 6'3 with broad shoulders.

Looked like he was playing off the ball and maybe needed time getting used to that.Alright cool.
He shot less than 35% from the field last year for Overtime Elite. From the line, however, he shot well over 80% which suggests he could be a better shooter than his numbers indicate. The team/system/league he played in is a contributor to shooting %. I was hoping it was more a product of that rather than his innate ability.
