Robert Dillingham - 2024 NBA Draft Prospect

[R. DeMurre]

Yeah, Sheppard is just your average negative defender, while Dillingham is a tier worse, but Dillingham is better at everything on offense.

I think you're leaving a lot of comparisons out to be able to so broadly state that Sheppard is only slightly better on defense and Dillingham is better at everything on offense. Sheppard has a significantly higher 2pt%, 3pt%, FT%, TS%, with more steals (by a huge margin), more blocks and rebounds, and fewer TOs and fouls. That's a lot of advantages. In addition, playing for the same team, Sheppard had a higher ORtg, a lower DRtg, and nearly double the BPM of Dillingham. I get liking the higher scoring guy and the self creation, but there's no way it's some lopsided slam dunk for Dilly when objectively comparing the two.

Stolen from RealGM:

15 out of the top 32 guards in the league last season according to EPM's EW (Estimated wins) statistic are 6-3 or less. This should kill the arguments against Sheppard & Dillingham due to size.

if he wanted to get pops attention he should have said Patty Mills

Dillingham - "I'm ready to switch onto Durant 100 times a game, and I don't want any help despite my lack of size!"

- "We're taking you 4th"

... yeah... let's ignore wingspan

... yeah... let's ignore wingspan

Definitely shouldn’t be ignored. I have the Spurs passing on Dilly for his size and defensive issues. But it was an interesting observation tbh.

Dilly was the most talented teammate wemby ever had….for about 60 glorious seconds…

The only player I was excited to watch play with Wemby...
