The Minnesota Timberwolves are banking on Rob Dillingham to fill the crucial point guard position as they move forward. With Mike Conley Jr. aging, Dillingham, who was drafted eighth overall in 2024, is seen as a potential star despite a rocky rookie season. His limited playtime and adjustments to his jump shot have raised questions, but Timberwolves' GM believes he has the tools to succeed alongside Anthony Edwards.

The team made a statement by not drafting another guard, signaling their commitment to Dillingham. Coach Chris Finch must now integrate him effectively into the rotation, potentially reducing Conley's minutes against faster-paced opponents. Dillingham's scoring potential and mentorship under Conley could be the key to unlocking his All-Star abilities in the coming seasons.
