2024 Fantasy Outlook
Dillingham, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, averaged 4.5 points, 1.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 10.5 minutes per game over 49 appearances for the Timberwolves. He posted shooting splits of 44.1/33.8/53.3, and never really came close to offering much fantasy appeal. While his per-game numbers were modest, Dillingham showcased flashes of playmaking and scoring potential during his rookie campaign. Things are looking up a bit heading into his second season, however. The Timberwolves had a very quiet offseason, and they were unable to retain Nickeil Alexander-Walker in free agency. Mike Conley is entering his age-38 season, and the Timberwolves may continue to scale back his minutes. If Dillingham can put together a strong training camp, he has a legitimate shot to carve out a healthy role in the rotation, making him an intriguing player to monitor as a possible sleeper.

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

From Hickory, N.C., Dillingham led the USA under-16 team to the 2021 FIBA Americas Championship in Mexico and was named MVP after posting 31 points, six boards, four assists and three steals in the finale against Argentina. He skipped his senior year of high school to join the Cold Hearts of Overtime Elite and was an ESPN five-star recruit before joining Kentucky, though he originally committed to NC State. In his lone season at Kentucky, Dillingham was a reserve (he started only once) and averaged 15.2 points, 3.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 23.3 minutes per game. He was stellar from deep, connecting on 44.4% of his 4.5 3-point attempts per game. At 6-foot-1, Dillingham has an elite offensive package that will translate to the NBA. He has a quick first step and can score at all three levels, like many other NBA guards who went to Kentucky. He will also find the open shooter but needs work as a playmaker to be considered a true point guard, as his shot selection and ball security can be spotty. Building his frame should help correct those issues, as Dillingham was at 164 pounds at the Combine. Dillingham won't turn 20 until January of 2025, which makes an ideal prospect at the top of the 2024 NBA Draft. Dillingham needs to put on some weight and improve a few areas of his game to develop into a star like Tyrese Maxey, so he may have to settle for an offensive spark-plug role as a sixth man role like Immanuel Quickley did. Currently, Dillingham has a similar frame to Bones Hyland, but a good landing spot should allow Dillingham to thrive early.

Muted role continues
GMinnesota Timberwolves
January 13, 2026
Dillingham supplied five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in eight minutes during Tuesday's 139-106 win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Dillingham was back in the rotation, playing for just the second time in the past four games. After starting the season as a viable backup option, Minnesota has opted to go in another direction of late, handing more playing time to Bones Hyland. In 10 appearances over the past month, Dillingham has averaged just 3.3 points and 1.6 assists in 8.2 minutes per game.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could join Bulls
GMinnesota Timberwolves
January 9, 2026
Dillingham has emerged as a potential trade chip as Minnesota explores avenues to acquire Coby White, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves are open to including Dillingham along with matching salary to facilitate a deal. Minnesota does not own a lot of draft capital at the moment, so they will need to get creative in negotiations. Dillingham's inclusion in talks is hardly a surprise, as he's been unable to break through Minnesota's rotation and his development has stalled.
