in a stronger draft, he's well outside the top 10 imo, simply due to his lack of size and he hasn't shown a lot of playmaking chops (though, i like his playmaking and how it will project at the next level) like say trae young who would be a nice comp in terms of a small scoring guard. in this draft though, i think he has a shot at top 5. probably goes before Sheppard. dillingham would immediately be one of the top 5 quickest/fastest guys in the league.
He's shown a ton of playmaking. 29% assist rate on a low turnover rate.
Yeah I bet he slips a bit further than he maybe should. He’d certainly be a tough fit for us.
tough fit for most teams which is why he's not a top 10 guy in 80% of drafts. even as good as trae young is, which is about dillingham's ceiling, it's just really hard to win in today's league with a diminutive guard playing big minutes.
But teams are doing it.....
which is why i would have a hard time passing on him starting at around 5. hell, maybe earlier. he's damn good. at some point the talent is too tantalizing.
He will be the first rookie that is also the oldest player on his team.
