Kentucky Basketball: Jerry Stackhouse says Rob Dillingham is ‘Kyrie Irving-like’
The Kentucky Wildcats took care of business inside Rupp Arena against a poor Vanderbilt team.
The Cats have now won four straight games heading into the team's final regular season game of the year.
One Kentucky star has shined in recent weeks and that star is Rob Dillingham.
The Cats guard has not only been recognized by guys like Drake, John Wall and others, but he has also backed it up with his performance on the court.
Vanderbilt head coach Jerry Stackhouse compared Dillingham to NBA star Kyrie Irving after the Cat's win over the Commodores.
Jerry Stackhouse says Rob Dillingham is “Kyrie Irving-like.”
I saw him at Combine Academy when I was in ninth grade and thought he was too small. He's now a guy who is “literally capable of exploding for 25 or 30 on any given night.”

Dillingham has really turned on in recent weeks, making 20-point performances look easier and easier.
The rookie guard has shown flashes of 'Kyrie-like' swagger on the court with his dribbling skills and off-balance finishes around the rim and mid-range jumpers.
Dillingham is a pure scorer with the confidence to help carry his team through the postseason.
The Cats have one final regular season test in Knoxville against the Tennessee Volunteers.
