“I’m Just Trying My Hardest.” | Rob Dillingham Summer League Sound | 07.14.24

Rob came out aggressive today was that kind of intentional on your part to try to get the shot going a little bit early on uh yeah I say like coming into this I just got to learn everything so first game was just like me trying to get comfortable learn my teammates and I can’t really play the game not scoring the ball so I got to attack to create and I feel like that’s my game so I can’t go away from my game so I just watched film and thought about everything I needed to do and just came out a little bit more aggressive today yeah and with eight assists too so does that maybe help you get into like you said maybe get on the flow of the game maybe help create for for other guys definitely cuz if you’re not scoring a ball they don’t have to really guard you so nothing else really opens up and when I’m scoring the ball it’s like they actually have to guard so I have way more decisions and I draw way more attention so my big role is two people guarding it’s easier to make a assist so and if he don’t is if they don’t pick up then it’s a shot so it definitely helps me see hind is talking about want to put pick and roll a little bit more today you play with words how is that part of your game you know how how much are you trying to work on that pick Roll Part uh I feel like that’s like kind of best part of my game honestly cuz I feel like it’s a lot of things I can do off of it with my big RS cuz then it’s the three it’s the shot or it’s the big and I just got to get to the point where I’m not getting bumped when I come off of it that’s the only thing but once I get that I feel like I’ll be super good at how’s it adjusting to the physicality of the game uh I say it’s a little different different but it’s not that different to a certain extent like obviously I know I got to get bigger but I feel like the more confidence you have it don’t really matter I I feel like today like I started off good and then they started getting a little physical I started missing a little bit cuz I was more tired but I feel like that comes with just working out keep learning I feel like everything will work out John Wall was talking during the game about how he’s kind of been a mentor for you how do how is that relationship been and how did it start uh that’s my guy he from North Carolina uh he’s a legend if you from Carolina mixtape super so uh yeah that’s my guy for show he started uh he met me at well he already he been new me texted me and stuff but Kentucky had come to all our games and I just hit him when like after the last game I was super super mad cuz I didn’t play that well but uh I just hit him and he was just telling me to play my game and really just regular stuff so cool so you talking to to Finch off to the side there what was he kind of sharing with you from his observations uh little things I need to get better at uh in the end at three in a corner I’m there but I’m not there enough so these players are way taller I got to contest a shot especially if we down three so I got to guard that and then also just um Coming uh oh also last minute in the last minute I went and Drew the foul okay and uh that was the offensive foul I gave them two possessions so uh I just got to know the time and clock and shoot in a certain time span so that they don’t get a double shot yeah Rob you’re coming into a team with a real defensive culture obviously you know that but it seems like the summer league team is really about defense too how are you just like pursuing that side of the floor on an individual L uh I feel like when you work out with players that do certain stuff it pushes you to do the same thing so you see all the dudes Jaylen Clark a bunch of dudes on the team that play Super defense they Knicks uh nadir tan Shannon a bunch of dudes that play Super defense and I might not be the best but I have to match their intensity even if I’m not right there so I’m just trying my heart is for Real
