Ranking the top 10 freshmen in college basketball this season

The Reed and Rob connection has Kentucky clicking. 'Ain't no such thing as a starter.' Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham have arguably been Kentucky basketball’s best players this season. A closer look at the unique dynamic.

Picks up first start Dillingham posted 12 points (4-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Friday's 81-61 win over Texas A&M-Commerce.

Impact Dillingham had been coming off the bench in exhibition play, a trend that extended to the Nov. 6 season opener. That changed Friday when he was part of the starting lineup, which led to 12 points across 30 minutes. The stat line wasn't quite as efficient given the minutes boost, but it's still encouraging for his fantasy outlook. He's now second on the team in scoring through two games, but will get a major test Tuesday against Kansas.

Scores 16 Friday Dillingham had 16 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists and three rebounds across 24 minutes off the bench in Friday's 92-69 exhibition victory over Georgetown College.

Impact Dillingham turned a few heads when he dropped 40 in an intrasquad scrimmage the previous weekend, but he still wasn't part of the starting lineup for Big Blue's first official exhibition matchup. That nod went to DJ Wagner, who was limited to four points on 2-of-9 shooting and only recorded one assist. The two five-star prospects should continue this battle when Kentucky hosts Kentucky State for another exhibition matchup Thursday.
