Full quote because of character limit: “The TL was flooded with Rob Dillingham stuff after some big games, but not a peep when he scored 2 points on 11% shooting. This is highlight reel bias. We need to be aware of it in fantasy. Not saying he isn’t good, but if you consume info from social media, you will usually only see the good, unless the general public hates there player, then you only see the bad.”
Yeah kid will be a good bench scorer, Lou Williams comparison would be his ceiling imo. But even in his good games he was actively hunted on defense in a PRE SEASON game so you know it will be worse during season against good teams
As a spurs fan, can we really complain about highlight reel bias?
We don’t need to become Dillingham haters just because the Spurs passed up on him. He’s a young player. He’ll have his ups and downs.
Weird behavior on both sides
Dillingham being good on offense doesn’t surprise me. The question is can his defense be not terrible
we’re creating a defensive juggernaut, which isn’t always sexy. dillingham would have been awesome but also a liability on D.
Dillingham also had 9 assists so wasn’t like he was trash. Still, we’ve been flooding TLs with Castle praise. This is just what happens.
Where is this guy where he is only seeing the good on social media?
Yall weird having on a young player. He will be good give it time
Dilllingham will be a good offensive spark plug in the league, but I am glad he is not taking minutes away from Wesley this offseason.
He’s going to be a really nice instant offense type of scorer. I’m sure he will have a couple of big games that makes people say “omg Pop is an idiot!!! Why did we trade him!!” Then in the playoffs you will see that a team playing him in a series will be able to key in and defend him and make him kind of unplayable because he’s not gonna be much of a defender.
I don’t see why anyone cares about Dilly, in terms of relevance to the spurs. Hopefully he has a nice career and that’s about all there is to it.
i hope he turns out. there’s no reason for us to dislike him
Dilly was never a realistic option for us. The real question is whether we whiffed on Ryan Dunn at #8. He’s already looking like a 3&D steal of the draft
