At 6'1" with a 6'3" wingspan, you better be special to make it in the NBA. We think Dillingham is. The 19 year-old scoring guard averaged 15.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. He has quick feet and he wants to play FAST! Dillingham came off the bench at Kentucky, averaging just 23.3 minutes per game. He is an accurate shooter (44% 3-pt. FG, 79.6% FT). More combo-guard than point guard, Dillingham posted a 1.93-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. He does have good court vision though. Dillingham is so quick that he can create havoc to opposing defenses, breaking them down with his shifty penetration. Right handed. Dillingham's DEFRTG was 3.2 points worse than the Kentucky team DEFRTG and we think given his small stature, it is likely that he may be a liability on that end. It's not that he doesn't try. He will get on the floor for a loose ball. We just think any team drafting him should understand that defense is literally HALF of the game. We think he will be taken in the back half of the lottery. We view him as a potential top-tier guard on offense. See video.

Our best advice: in 2020, the 6th pick was Onyeka Okongwo. We advised, "draft Tyrese Haliburton."
