Can Rob Dillingham defend well enough for the San Antonio Spurs to use a lottery pick on him?

Whoever the San Antonio Spurs end up drafting in the 2024 NBA draft , you can be sure that they will have at least the ability to develop the sort of defensive principles that the Spurs organization holds dear. And for that reason, it is not too surprising to hear rumbles that San Antonio might be interested in drafting University of Kentucky point guard Rob Dillingham.

Dillingham is a passable defender at the NCAA level, but against larger, longer opponents at the next level, he may struggle to stop even opposing floor generals at just 6-foot-3. That he weighs just 176 lbs. also won’t help much in that regard.

Is the fact that he might be targeted by opposing ball clubs defensively too much of an issue for the Spurs to use one of their two lottery picks on the Kentucky guard?

The hosts of the “SSPN: A San Antonio Spurs Podcast” YouTube channel took a deep dive into the topic on a recent episode. Check it out above!
