The Timberwolves add a dynamic scorer in Dillingham, a 6-foot-1 guard who averaged 15.2 points on 44.4% shooting from 3-point range in his lone season with Kentucky.

San Antonio, meanwhile, adds to its growing cache of draft picks while building around reigning Kia Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs had already added Connecticut guard Stephon Castle with the fourth overall pick.
