There is indeed a lot of potential in passing, but the shortcomings of the Timberwolves backcourt star are also very obvious?

In a previous NBA regular season game, the Minnesota Timberwolves, who returned to their home games, easily defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 143-101. After this game, the Timberwolves also chased the total score of the series to 1-2, and it seems that this round of series still has a lot of suspense.

In this game, because the game lost its suspense early, the Timberwolves' substitute backcourt rookie Robert Dillingham also got a chance to play at the last moment of the game. Dillingham played 7 minutes and 50 seconds in the whole game, made 0 of 2 shots, 0 of 1 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 1 point, 1 rebound and 4 assists, with a plus-negative value of 0. On the one hand, Dillingham does have a very good passing ability and organizational ability on the offensive end. His overall view is quite outstanding. He can also create opportunities for his teammates. His performance in this regard is far beyond everyone's expectations; but on the other hand, Dillingham is indeed too thin in terms of figure, and he lacks basic confrontational ability, which also makes it difficult to score points, and it is difficult for him to assume more responsibilities on the defensive end. Of course, Dillingham is a player with considerable potential to tap, but it seems that he still has obvious shortcomings in some aspects.

In the NBA regular season this season, Dillingham made a total of 49 appearances in 82 games, averaging 10.5 minutes per game, averaging 4.5 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 0.4 steals, and 1.1 turnovers and 0.8 fouls, shooting percentage of 44.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 3.8%, and free throw shooting percentage of 53.3%. In the playoffs, Dillingham played 2 games in the first 13 games, averaging only 4.9 minutes per game, averaging 0.5 points, 0.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists, shooting percentage 0%, three-point shooting percentage 0%, and free throw shooting percentage 50%.

Dillingham did not get much playing time during the regular season, and he also had no chance to get a stable chance to enter the rotation lineup. With serious shortage of playing time, Dillingham also finds it difficult to show his characteristics, and his overall performance is also relatively average. In the playoffs, Dillingham also had no way to get more playing time and performance opportunities. In this game, Dillingham was able to get very little playing time. He did show some characteristics, but his weaknesses are also very obvious. In fact, the Timberwolves are very short of people in the No. 1 position. The team's backcourt veteran Mike Conley's regression this season is very obvious, and it is difficult for him to play a role during the playoffs. If Dillingham can improve his shortcomings, he will have a full chance to achieve a stable rotational lineup position in the future. I don’t know if he can improve his shortcomings this summer.
