If you look up Rob Dillingham’s Wikipedia page, you’ll quickly realize how notable his basketball past has been. After growing up and starting his high school career in his hometown of Hickory, North Carolina, he transferred to Donda Academy in California - Kanye West’s school - for his junior year before heading to Overtime Elite (OTE) in Atlanta. He finished his pre-NBA career at one of the most well-known college basketball institutions in the country, the University of Kentucky.
All of this is to say, he’s been under the spotlight playing with some pretty heavy hitters before coming to the Twin Cities.
