Robert Dillingham

As a College Recruit

There might not have been a player who brought more electricity to the floor than Robert Dillingham. He was assured to go on an exclusive scoring stint at some point throughout the course of every game. He is a dynamic shooter with a confident release and excellent balance once he steps within 35 feet of the rim. Dillingham also has a crafty handle and footwork and his bag possesses counters upon counters off the bounce. He would also have a tendency to get tunnel vision toward the rim and, while making good reads, the accuracy of his passing – at times – was too late or off-target. Then there is the defense. While John Calipari was able to put up with some offensive miscues, there were games when Dillingham was unplayable because of his defense. He has a very thin frame which could lead to concerns as well. But Dillingham thrived in Kentucky with limited minutes, and there is a lot of league value in a player who can consistently bring juice off the bench. While he may be a polarizing player in the eyes of some, there is no denying his offensive capabilities among his peers in this draft class.
