No LeBron James or Anthony Davis in the midfield of the Lakers' first preseason game. Donte DiVincenzo is there on the other hand for the Wolves, unlike Julius Randle.
And the former Knicks shooter quickly showed what he was going to bring to Minnesota, with 11 quick points at 3/3 from a distance. Behind, these are the replacements who took over, with Josh Minott (22 points), Luka Garza (20 points) and Terrence Shannon Jr (14 points). But the one we were waiting to see is Rob Dillingham.
And in an Immanuel Quickley style, with a lot of “floaters” that are not necessarily simple, the 8th choice of the last Draft showed the offensive spark that he could bring.
With his 21 points at 9/20 shooting in 25 minutes, plus 4 assists, he in any case made his defenders run, notably Bronny James. The son of the “King” was entitled to a good amount of playing time (16 minutes), JJ Redick explaining that he wanted to reward him after his first three good days of training camp. He took the opportunity to place three blocks, notably catching Rob Dillingham who was going for a layup, but only scored 2 points at 1/6 on the shot.
The Frenchman Armel Traoré had to be content with 4 minutes on the floor, for 5 points at 2/2 on the shoot.
In the end, it is logically the Wolves who win (124-107) while we can also note that Dalton Knecht (16 points at 7/13 shooting) is not shy, even if he is still messy.
