“Playing Defense.” | Rob Dillingham Summer League Sound | 07.12.25

Uh, turnovers for sure, man. Turnovers. That’s my whole day up. Honestly, I could have okay game. I turn the ball on, I’m be kid dead. So, definitely turnovers. I was stressed over them turning overs two days. So, Kevin was just kind of saying that he wanted you to just maybe run off a little more, less pick and roll. What’s the What’s kind of the dynamic for you when maybe it’s less and stuff? Uh, I mean, it’s just that’s what they want me to do. So, uh, that that’s helps us. It helps all of our team around. So, even though like I’m not coming off the screen as much as I used to, then I just got to learn how to play a new game. So, learning, adjusting, trying to figure out how to do it and how to fit my game in between running the plays and playing defense. Rob, you talk about turnovers. Like, how do how do you work on turnovers? Like, as a player, like you know, you’re missing shots, you go get shots up. Like, what what does work look like in that area? Uh you got to watch film and see how you turn the ball over cuz like sometimes it’s actually don’t show your turnovers. You could lose the ball, get in a fight with it, they try to travel on you, that’s a turnover. So it’s really just how you you got to watch the film and show how you turn the ball over. And if you feel like it’s your fault, then that next game you look how to make a better pass in that situation. So you kind of got this look in your eyes out there. I saw you talked a lot of Looks like you’re just having a lot of fun. Can you just speak to how much fun you’re having just just playing out here with these guys? Uh, it’s a blessing for sure. Uh, not playing is crazy. So, me being able to even get a few minutes with my guys when I’m playing good or bad, I’m just trying to get my spark back, honestly. John Wall was sitting courtside now. How’s your relationship with him over the years? Uh, that’s been my dog since I was like ninth grade. So, ninth grade I played John Wall tournament. So, I’ve been knew him since a little kid. Ever since my first summer league, he was here college. We played Kansas. He was right there. So, it’s my dog for sure. Ant was sitting in front of the media tonight. Is he like that every game? Just let’s go Rob. Hey Rob, go Rob. Get the ball Rob. Uh he like that for everybody. That’s how Ant is. He He want to see the young guys go and especially if we put in work, he sees us put in work. So he feels like we deserve it. So he going to cheer us on just how we cheer him on. What do you think of a GD stunk? Ain’t nothing to think about. Who else is doing that? And he got me assist. Anybody else? Thank you.
