Dillingham scored 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt) while adding seven assists and two rebounds in 26 minutes during Thursday's 132-126 preseason loss to the Nuggets.
While Denver trotted out its likely starting five for the regular season, Minnesota elected to rest all its key players, giving bench players like Dillingham a chance of making one final good impression on Minnesota's coaches. The 19-year-old guard flashed his offensive skills this preseason, but while he's a big part of the team's future, Dillingham likely won't have a huge role in the Timberwolves' backcourt to begin his NBA career.
