SPURS select ROB DILLINGHAM, trade him to TIMBERWOLVES | 2024 NBA Draft | Yahoo Sports

well Rob Dillingham selected as the eighth overall pick uh right now selected by the Spurs it is said that he is going to be traded though to Minnesota T wolves I got to start with uker because we in our pre-draft show you had said his stock was falling yet he’s at number eight what are our thoughts here I mean what did I say also that this entire draft was going to be chaos chaos expect the unexpected I should have known better I really should but when you’re looking at Minnesota first of all this is a huge tease for San Antonio fans that allason watching what he did at Kentucky have been dillian wimy would be a dream situation but they’re shipping him to Minnesota I think he’s one of the best Playmakers with the ball in his hands he’s very undersized 61 and a half came in at 164 lbs in the combine so he’s going to have to bulk up a little bit but I also love who he compares to we’re looking at a mixture between Kimbo Walker and Isaiah Thomas very quick getting downhill improved three-point shooter limited footwork defensively in guarding that back court but I love Rob and his competitive spirit and he’s found ways to prove people wrong at every level so he could be the missing piece for Minnesota he can go get a bucket and they need a point guard uh when Mike connley is not around if you remember this past year in the postseason run there was a game Mike connley missed versus the nuggets and Anthony Edwards when connley returned back and they won the next game said we won because of Mike connley yeah because Hees everything work for us with Dillingham he can do that same thing but also be a shot Creator and there was a long stretch of the Season where the Timberwolves they really struggled in clutch minutes they were one of the worst clutch minute teams in the association they got stagnant they didn’t know where to go with the ball people couldn’t create a shot and that’s with Anthony e on the floor so now they solved that issue with the insertion of Rob Dillingham you said Isaiah Thomas or you know we might throw out Lou Williams or something like that he might be the smallest guy in the draft but he just joined the biggest team in the NBA you’re talking about cat you’re talking about Rudy go you’re talking about anony Edwards and Nas so Rob Dillingham found the perfect place for him and his skill set I love this move from Tim Connelly okay Rob Dillingham sounds like you’re going to a great place by our experts here he is headed to the Timberwolves
