“We’re Trying To Win [Summer League].” | Rob Dillingham & Terrence Shannon Jr. Interview With Grady

All right. Alongside Terence Shannon Jr., Rob Dillingham, Timberwolves get another win. Rob, I’m gonna start with you. How does it feel to remain undefeated in summer league play? Uh, it feels straight. We just got to keep winning. We trying to win the whole thing. So, we don’t feel good till we win it. It’s looking that way right now. This one was close during stretches, Terrence, but then you guys pulled away late, leading by as many as 20. How were you guys able to get that separation? Uh just staying together, uh listening to what coach Kev is telling us, uh staying true to our defensive scheme, uh sharing the ball on the offensive end, and uh getting out and running. You see this in summer league. I mean, this one got chippy and both teams were undefeated head into the game. There’s a little trash talk out there. Rob, I’ll start with you. How do you how do you respond with trash talk on the court? Uh I mean, any way I need to. Uh we’ve been playing basketball since little kids, so ain’t nobody just going to come bump us out the way. So, however we need to respond, we’re going to respond today. Physicality, same thing. Whether it’s physicality going right back at him, that’s just how we respond for sure. Same question for you. How do you respond when things get a little tight, little chippy, and a little trash talk out there? Oh, I love it. I love it. That’s that’s when I throw out our best. Uh, but you just got to make sure you backing your game up with it when you’re talking. Um, so I mean, I love it though. That’s that’s all I love it. This question is also for both of you. How has the game slowed down for you here in this second go round? Um, I feel like just having a a year under your belt um slows the game down. Learning from the vets on your team, uh, getting some time in the regular season and playoffs. Uh, and watching a lot of film, uh, asking a lot of questions as well. I feel like that’s what slows the game down a lot for me. How’s How’s the game slowed down for you, Rob? Yeah, for sure. The same thing like being able just to watch and know what every team brings, how you got to change your game plan towards the team. And also, yeah, watching film, knowing like from the last game, a team jump you, how you going to react if a team jump you this game or if they play a different way. So, really just knowing how you gonna play whether or not they pick whatever defense they picked. You guys both came into the league together. How was your relationship developed over the year? That’s my dog for sure. When I’m on the court with him, I’m comfortable for sure. So, yeah, I’m cool for sure. That’s my dog. How would you describe the relationship, T? Yeah, we like brothers, man. Uh, I got us told him I got his back all the time. Uh, even with I don’t care what it is. Somebody bump him or anything. I’m Hey, hey, don’t bump him like that. So, I’m right behind I’m behind Rob at all times. Uh, that’s my boy, man. I’m happy have you describe each other’s game. How would you describe Rob Dillingham’s game? Shifty word. No, but uh I mean Rob, he he good, man. He he work on his game. He he he a real he real hard on himself. Uh, and that’s what’s going to make him great. Uh he try to do everything right. Um he try to play everybody in the right positions. Uh when he got a chance to score, he going to try to take that. Um but he a real good point guard, man. Um he he shares the ball. He’s not selfish. Um and I don’t know if y’all can see it, but I feel like he got a lot better uh than when he did he came in in the first year. No doubt. No doubt. There it is. There it is. I’mma turn it to you. Describe TJ’s game. I mean, it ain’t really nuts to explain like what’s today. He shot nine shot six and nine. How much? 24 25 24 six or nine shots. Come on, bro. You already been average of 20. So like it really ain’t nothing to describe. He cold. He can fit anywhere on any team. So that’s what it is. And as long as I’m playing, we going to win. I love that. Last thing for both of you. What would it What would it mean? You guys are still undefeated in summer league play. Another game coming up. What would it mean to win this whole thing? Uh it mean a lot. It just shows that we work out every day. So I feel like we deserve what we put in. So, I feel like if we win, it’s no surprise to us. That’s what we do, we work for, and it’s just a stepping stone of what we going to do this season. Same thing for you today. Uh, I feel like I feel good.
