Who else are you planning on videos for soon? I love this series

[@Adbar10XD]

Been waiting for this one, definitely someone im keeping an eye on in fantasy leagues. Hope he ends up next to Wemby

[@derek-parker]

Love that Spurs fit!

[@kwesithomas6585]

What do you think about fit on the raptors with scottie barnes? Anyone else in the lottery conversation come to mind?

What's the point in having IQ🤔

I feel like Dillingham improved defensively over conference play. Still a lot of problems, but a clear lack of coaching (imo), would just blow defensive rotations and make crazy helps, as he did in the last game. But the desire seems to be there, the quickness is there. In my mind, he can get at least somewhere closer to neutral and is not 100% a lost cause.

Doesn't ve a left hand

[@sarahmccoy1941]

NO

[@myrdin9216]

I think you may overrate his passing and playmaking, and the grade overall is way too high when he is going to be the worst defender in the NBA. He will be like Trae Young but considerably worse on offense.

[@echo-kz5kr]

funny because all the same things were said about garland, you can’t really make an end-all-be-all claim about his playmaking when he’s sharing touches at the point with two other nba guards, the flashes have been more than enough

[@ew5021]

I hear this a lot, but it's flatly wrong. His playmaking is very good. Snap decisions, pretty precise spotting on the passes, great lobs. He's going to break down defenses pretty well. And he won't be the worst defender.

Sounds like a pure hater

[@myrdin9216]

@@Gswaggin100 thanks. 164 lbs at the combine. Dude is going to be a child among men. Team will play 4v5 on defense every single possession

[@kristianpomida8259]

a trae young esque player with popovich would be an integral piece in a championship team

[@donaldw12318]

Lol fastest guy you’ve scouted and he’s a 2 athlete. Judging a 6’1 guys athleticism based on dunks seems like a dumb metric. There’s no way his athleticism is a negative, neutral feels more appropriate

[@donaldw12318]

Great video btw. Just wild how much height talk there is about rob given Brunson, garland, Trae, maxey, curry, lillard ect. You cover this at the end so I just had to come back to agree lol
