Rob is going to need some time. Game is still too fast it looks.
Rob Dillingham
- Thread starter johnc17
- Start date
He’s super talented. Just needs to be patient and trust Cal. He’s doing good things tonight. Team player.
He will be fine. He is very talented
I'm not worried about Dilly. This team has an embarrassment of riches on the offensive end.
once he does find it and the way he handles the ball. That is going to be primetime
His ball handling is elite. He’s trying to figure out the best way to score at this level. He will figure it out. He can affect a game just playing point and passing the ball the way he can create.
Him and Wagner will be a nasty combo by March.
6 points 9 assists tonight he seems fine to me….
Only 1 turnover in 2 games and his assist are crisp.
Thought he was solid tonight . He got Reed started early by making the simple extra pass . Even passed up open shots to make the extra pass .
9 assists 1 turnover = the game is too fast for him 🤦🏻♂️
I hope you're not a scout, geeee. Dilly is fine and played well.
Once he figures things out we should expect a 20/25:1 assist:to ratio. 9:1 is clearly just him fumbling around blindly in the dark. /s
9 assists in 10 minutes. Hope we get to see him for longer stretches on Saturday.
The good news is that he seems to be unselfish despite being a "showy" player, so hopefully that means he will take his time to develop, and he will start to understand that he desperately needs to improve his outside shot if he wants to really impact the game at this level, especially given his size. If he allows defenders to sag off him, that negates his biggest weapon, which is the drive.
The OP after he opened this thread back up and saw these responses:
Having a guy like Ulis on the staff should be a great help with this. I could see them spending a lot of time in the film room.
People on here are clowns
9 assists and 1 turnover in just 10 minutes. Yep, looks like it’s moving way to fast for him. 😂😂😂😂
The kid had 9 dimes and one turnover, game doesn't appear to fast for him to me
Always thought this backcourt could be top 3/4 in the country, as long as youth didn’t hurt too much. Looks like the backcourt is gonna be just fine. Dilly, Reeves, Shep, Wagner and Edwards to an extent. WOW! Gonna be a fun season IMO.
Im no talent scout, but it looks to me like the people that said this freshman class is weak were wrong. IMO that was complete bs.
Maybe it is from an NBA standpoint? What I saw in that McD AA game were a bunch of players that didn't want to lose. Not typical of a AA game. You can see the fight in all our Freshmen.
The only thing that may stop us from getting number 9 is the nickname Dilly.
He is Rob. Or Bob.
He is Rob. Or Bob.

Dillingham is potentially an impact player, but I agree the game is coming a little too fast right now. His speed and handle are elite. He is thinking too much, and I suspect he does not want to get tagged as a guy who takes bad shots. That tells me that he is trying to develop the mindset of a point player. Sheppard already possesses that mindset. I suspect Dillingham's role will get defined by how well he masters his defensive game.
me fickle and can change direction on a dime.. I had been a give DJ the ball guy, and was still of that opinion after first game. This second game Dilly was the better PG and showed me how our drink can be stirred with a lean, mean, faster, change speed more, more athletic pg. He was the better PG last nite. Made me think that if Reed and Dilly were backcourt, I get excited - speed and brains.
Not defending by any means; but im thinking he was talking about dillys game is still to fast.... possibly. He just seems to be in a bigher gear than anyone on the court. Lightning fast; and when he does learn to utilize that shewwww. Watch out!
Edwards is a prototype for what the NBA is looking for as is Bradshaw. The guards don’t really have prototypical size but Dillingham has the speed and handle, DJ has the strength and Reed has the basketball IQ to make it. Hell, I think Brurks will make it eventually.
Do we want him to be 'white and slow' as one poster on here recently called Reed? I like either white or black and fast.
