Minnesota Timberwolves Secretly Stumbled Upon A GEM…

💯Terrence Jr gonna be a fan favorite. I think that second unit will be one of the best in the league, maybe a 10 man rotation. 9 and 10 man might be Ingles and Drillingham.

I think he could win RoY. I think he’ll be in that conversation at least which is awesome. He’ll get all the Kyle Anderson minutes cause of his motor. It’ll be hard to bench him by mid season

[@WheresWaldo05]

No. Dilly is taking some of those since Kyle played point forward. Monte did not play for us. We also have Ingles for that.

[@Artquestgettingbettertogether]

@@WheresWaldo05 I like dilly, but I worry his defense will limit his role this year. If he’s getting cooked by backup point guards out there it kinda won’t matter how many points he puts up. I just put TSJs motor as such a valuable skill to have out there, he’s clearly going to play. If he can knock down threes Ingels would become redundant

[@AAONMS1]

[@jameskendrick6292]

Personally, I think the Wolves dropped the ball on takeming Dillingham. Players like Dillingham are a dime a dozen in the NBA. Kentucky sucked last season and Dilly was 6th man on a not so good roster. SMFH

[@Dunk1It1Hard]

Because he was in hot water allegedly.

[@thomaswoodmancy7096]

​@Dunk1It1Hard He was 100% exonerated two weeks prior to the draft. It doesn't make sense to me, but whatever.. for the next few years he's going to make other teams regret passing on him. He's a Top 5-10 talent, and an unbelievable young man. The Timberwolves got a steal. Their fans are gonna love this dude! ❤🧡💙 ILL

[@Dunk1It1Hard]

@@thomaswoodmancy7096 yes every draft has a walking bucket getter. He might be that guy. Best scorer in the draft, only time will tell.

[@2ramona959]

It's because he's 24 years old and played 5 years of college ball would be my guess (the false rape allegations I'm sure didn't help). Teams want 19 year old freshmen.

[@denzelmartin6201]

Reminds me of kelly oubre but he can run the transition like giannis or brown. Alot of potential.

[@PamelaSueWelsh]

It much better. And faster and more explosive by FFFFAAARRRR! 🏀

[@RJLKMRD]

I think that there were a couple of steals in this year's draft but, TSJ is probably going to be the best of all to your point!

[@jschang29]

He might see the pro court before dillingham to be honest. If he can grasp the concept of defense the wolves play, he might be a better option than NAW. I like NAW's length on defense but offensively he's inconsistent and doesn't create his own shot. Anthony Edwards plays the whole first quarter, but if they change up the rotation, he shouldn't have to play the whole first quarter. The line ups could rotate more often and keep them fresh in the 4th which at times Anthony Edwards was looking gassed because he's trying so hard on offense especially when Conley is out. There could be a line up with Antman and TSJ on the floor at the same time with Edwards at the point. I wouldn't wanna be guarding two guys who can explode to the rim at any given second.

[@WheresWaldo05]

No. Wolves already guaranteed Dilly will be playing right away.

Not secretly at all. Been close with him and Tai Streets his mentor/coach growing up for years. And live here in Champaign and talked to him often when he was still at Texas Tech then finally here at Illinois. Dude is an ABSOLUTE DAWG! Day 1. Period. You will not only love this dude. Admire his hustle, skill and athleticism that is hard to match for a guy almost 6’7” and 230 pounds. 🏀

[@toddlash4782]

He is not only talented but works his ass off on and off the court and is extremely coachable. Timberwolves got a steal.

[@0verfiend]

Looks also like naz Reid when driving after those feints

[@adampepin9944]

It is important to note that he is probably older and more physically mature than everyone else on the court. But still, it is nuts he fell that far, even considering the off the court stuff.

[@tuckerkline4142]

Him falling to 27 was ridiculous. He is flat out the strongest and most athletic player in the draft. Watch the tape

[@PamelaSueWelsh]

100% spot on. Know him well. Nearly 6’7”. 230 pounds. Close to 40” vertical. Fastest 10 meters. 4.3 40 which he has ran with the Illinois Football team this past spring. Did 20 reps at 225 pounds too,

[@markcarrigan1412]

[@WheresWaldo05]

I think the qmin thing he needs to develope badly and very soon is a passing game. Once he can pass out of those big downhill drives to players like Ant, Conley, Naw, Naz, Kat, Dilly for a wide open outside shot, that will turn the wolves offense up another notch.

[@MNspikegrow]

POBO says him and rob going to play. Up to them how much.

[@mailiam1]

You should look over Jaylen Clark’s tape from the Pacers game. His defense is insane, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone as good at generating turnovers as he is

[@julianhommeyer9133]

Jimmy Bulter is pretty good at that

[@smnbrgss]

With how close some of the WCF games were, even just being middle of the pack on 3s would be good enough while having the elite defense to win a chip. So these two picks should slot in perfectly. I can’t wait to see basically 2-3 Æs on the court in with in the next 5 years.

[@jameskendrick6292]

TSJ will be playing more time than Naz and definitely NAW. TSJ has more tools than Naz. and light years faster and quicker than everyone except maybe Ant. You Wlof fans are going to love this kid.

Kinda like cj McCollum in the way he moves on offense

[@davidfranklin7912]

The NBA wants players just out of day care from overseas to make the League more international. Any one watching any game other than the rigged one with Connecticut can see his talent. By far he is the best player coming out of the draft. Is now Illinois single season scoring leader despite missing 6 games due to the fake rape charges, I hope she gets jail time for trying to ruin a person's life. He is not a steal, the NBA is not what it used to be. It's a business and entertainment organization not talent and a sport.
