NBA star says Rob Dillingham is like a brother to him

The NBA preseason is underway and now we have a chance to see former Wildcats Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham in their new homes as they adjust to the league. Both seem to be working very well so far. Sheppard has shown flashes on the court and Dillingham has shown off his playing ability.

In a postgame interview for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Dillingham received some praise for one of his teammates, Anthony Edwards, who is an NBA All-Star. The 1.90 meter tall guard is already making some good impressions before the start of the season.

“I love Rob. He reminds me a little of myself when I was a newbie, just happy. Yes, I love Rob. He’s like a little brother to me. … He’s a lot of fun to be around.”

– Edwards on his relationship with Rob.

Edwards also knows Dillingham has a knack for creating his shots, and he says the former Wildcat would have been a big help to the Timberwolves, a team that narrowly missed out on getting to the NBA Finals after had previously lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the series.

“We definitely could have used him last year. He comes out, he only knows one thing: shoot the ball, put it in the rim. He’s efficient, so we can’t say much to him. He has confidence and that’s what I love about him.

– Edwards on what Dillingham brings to the table.

With Dillingham already turning heads with the Timberwolves, it will be interesting to see what impact he has on them during the season, especially as a team that nearly reached the NBA Finals the season before.
