Basically, Dillingham has shown his ability to score from almost anywhere on the floor.
All in all, Dillingham came to Chicago over the Minnesota Timberwolves. In exchange, the Timberwolves received Ayo Dosunmu and originally Mike Conley. Meanwhile. Dillingham is in his second full NBA season.
In 2024, Dillingham was drafted by the Timberwolves out of the University of Kentucky. While in Minnesota, Dillingham was largely overshadowed by the play of Anthony Edwards and fellow 2024 recruit Terence Shannon Jr.
In all, Dillingham played in 35 games this year. He is averaging 9.3 minutes per game. He averaged 10.5 minutes per game last year and shot 44.8% from the field. In total, Dillingham played 49 games.
Dillingham is just one of seven trades the Bulls made before and during NBA trade deadline. In the process, Chicago acquired 14 second draft picks.
In all, the Bulls traded Dosunmu, Kobe White, Nikola Vucevic, Kevin Huerter, Jevon Carter and Dallen Terry. Dosunmu, White, Vucevic, Huerter and Carter played at the end of their contracts.
The Bulls are 24-28 on the year and are in the midst of a three-game losing streak.
