Rob Dillingham sat up after being shouted at by Chris Finch

The rookie wachmann Rob Dillingham played only eight minutes against the Rockets on the defeat of the Timberwolves on Friday and marked the least minutes that he has played in one game since December. Why did Chris Finch leave him on the bench?

Dillingham had an impressive January with an average of 9.8 points and 3.0 assists at 57.1% shooting out of the field over eight games. His minutes rose from 15.8 per game to 16.6 in February, but its rating production has dropped to 5.7 points per game.

On Friday evening it was clear that Finch was frustrated with Dillingham at the end of the second quarter. After deciding on a transition with three transition classes, Finch called a time crossing that spoke his displeasure and Dillingham had not seen the soil for the rest of the night.

Dillingham ended with two points, two rebounds and two steals at the 1 von 4 shooting, and the wolves lost against the Rockets 121-115. You now have 20 clutch-time losses, which is the most in the NBA.

With Donte Divincenzo from the line -up, this long time was crucial for Dillingham’s hopes of being a main support in the rotation when Minnesota is fully healthy. He shot the exciting potential that the wolves saw in him before he exchanged himself for him last summer, but it is clear that Finch followed the hard-love approach with his development.
