[Lowlights] Rob Dillingham turns the ball over with the soccer rainbow flick off the dribble, Kenrich Williams misses back to back open layups, Josh Giddey horribly misses the 3-point attempt. Bulls and Thunder commentaries
Haven’t followed bulls lately how’s Dillingham been?
nothing has changed, he still sucks
Swinging and missing on Dillingham has been Tim Connelly’s one big blemish as the Wolves GM.
A least he moved off of him early instead of doubling down.
Missing on mid lottery picks sucks, especially when you trade all remaining assets, but what sucks even more is doubling down and hoping they would develop.
Wolves gave up on Culver after 2 years and got criticized by the media for trading away former 6th overall pick for PatBev. PatBev got them to the playoffs while Culver is playing in Japan. Wolves gave up on Dillingham after 1.5 years and got Ayo who will be a big part of a playoff team this year. Wolves also did not have to make a choice of picking up their team option for year 4, which is a tough choice when you drafted a player. If you traded for him - not really.
Bulls, for example, always hoped Patrick Williams would develop, picked up all of the team options, and gave him a 5 year deal - arguably the worst contract in the NBA now.
Moving on from the sunk cost is low key more impressive than just drafting safe. I’d rather my GM swing and miss (a couple times) than draft random high floor low ceiling guys.
Looks incredibly physically overmatched. Making bafflingly dumb plays (like this kick in the clip) with the ball. Can’t guard any NBA players. TS% at .437 for us due to shooting 3⁄19 from 3 through ten games. Generally the worst player on the court, which is impressive considering the lineups we’ve trotted out since the sell-off. He’s impressively terrible.
you’d be crucified on the wolves sub for this comment lol
I admit to knowing very little about him when the Wolves acquired him, nor his time on the team. Have you watched his play for the Bulls? Is it any different than in Minny? When we traded for Simons, Sexton, Ivey and Dilly, Bulls fans varied in our opinions on which reclamation projects were most enticing, and a fair share thought Dilly might stick. I haven’t watched every minute - it’s extremely painful to be a Bulls fan right now - but I haven’t seen anything from the kid (I wish I did, we desperately need some optimism).
I’ve watched limited minutes of him on the Bulls.
Frankly, it looks about the same (maybe even a little better) than he did in MN.
He was pretty awful on the Wolves. Very fast but never in control, scared to shoot (with terrible shot mechanics), mind boggling decision making/turnovers? couldn’t even finish at the rim.
His lone bright spot was defensive effort but even then he was still a negative on that end.
I think you guys might have something in Ivey but unfortunately I don’t think Rob is long for this league
idk Ivey unfortunately seems busted. He literally said himself “I’m not the J.I. I used to be, the old J.I. is dead.” which was…really, really depressing to hear from him. That leg break seems to have been pretty devastating to his athleticism and confidence. I can only hope he’s wrong about himself.
that’s not really the context, look up the full clip if you can!
he’s a limited player profile who can succeed in only one way - he has to be able to score - and his shot is completely broken right now and he can’t reliably make layups
gonna need the summer of his life
it sucks because the tools are there for him to be one of those small guard nuclear bench scorer types but he just doesn’t have it right now
What tools does he have? He isn’t good at anything and he’s built like a high school kid.
he’s got explosive acceleration, speed, theoretically good handles (though he obviously does a bunch of dumb stuff) and he was a good shooter in college
And yet there were and probably still are people on the Wolves sub who are calling for Finch’s head because he didn’t play Dillingham.
Probably really bad considering he’s really bad.
I was right: he’s 2⁄16 on 3s since being acquired by the Bulls.
This boi worse than bronny
He’s actually played well. He’s is still struggling to shoot, but his passing has been great. The bulls are better when he’s on the court too. Once he improves his shooting, he’ll be a good starter.
Bro hit a beautiful rainbow flick. Moving like prime Neymar
Yeah I was like how did he do that, looked so smooth but obviously didn’t mean to haha.
Isn’t that a kick ball? And play should have stopped?
dribbling off your own foot isn’t a kick ball.
Kickball is only when it is intentional. Otherwise when you get in trouble picking up your dribble you could just spike the ball off a defenders foot.
I can’t believe we got Ayo for him
Considering the Bulls front office, I can
Insane cardio
Tony Snell smiling down from the heavens
We got next if either of these teams can get to 11…
I really wish Sexton would have made his way to a decent team. He’s not a great player, but I like his game. I could see him hitting big shots for a contending team.
I still remember him at Alabama playing 3 on 5 and almost winning the game
I have never seen a turnover like this lmfao
That was a rough first half all around.
Crazy how the best team in the NBA can go on stretches like this
Why would Chris Finch do this?
Bro leaking his /r/soccer skills out here
Now THIS is the kind of basketball I personally know and love
Summer League Vibes
Dam I still remember some spurs fan saying we got fleeced when the trade happened…
“hurr hurr, Brian Wright traded Rob for some middle schoolers hurrhurrhurr!”
i feel so bad that we sent Collin Sexton to this team. its like dude made a deal with the devil that he gets to be an NBA player but is only allowed to play trashketball
You missed when Chet nearly alley ooped the other basket
Realistically, where can the Bulls finish in the draft order now that they started tanking so late in the season?
Buddy was reaching for another word besides dreadful lmfao
my heart drops a little every time a Rob highlights makes the main feed. But it’s always something embarrassing
I really don’t understand why people insist he needs playing time.
Send him to the g league for all I care
You mean Josh “Karl Malone” Giddey?
