Dillingham's Turnover Troubles: Bulls' Sparkplug Scorer

0:00It's March 4th for the NBA. Let's get into it. In the second quarter of a tight game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Chicago Bulls guard Rob Dillingham pulled off one of the strangest turnovers. You'll see. Racing up court from under his own basket, the ball slipped from his left hand, hit his back heel, and bounced right to a Thunder defender for an easy. Fast break. This mishap highlights Dillingham's biggest issue so far. He's turned the ball over 19 times in just 10 games with the Bulls. His super fast style often leaves him off balance, leading to a low 37.3% shooting from the field and force layups that. Don't always go in. Fans and social media lit up over the heel kick blunder, calling him mind-boggling, and one of the seasons wildest plays. Some critics are quick to doubt the 21-year-olds NBA future, but it's early days for the former top draft pick. Dillingham spent his first year and a half with the Minnesota Timberwolves playing limited minutes, averaging no more than 11.5 per game.

1:01Now with the Bulls, he's getting real court time to show his quick handles, speed, defense, and rebounding grit, despite his six-foot-three frame. The Bulls have spaced to let him grow, and while mistakes like this sting, they're part of developing a spark plug score from the 2000. 24 drafts top eight. Cutting turnovers will be key if Coach Billy Donovan wants to give him a bigger role. This episode is supported by our sponsor.
