Efficient, physical frontcourt producer for Illinois State
Dilligard profiles as a dependable **two-way forward** who brings efficient scoring, rebounding, and interior toughness; in the season cited by ESPN he averaged **7.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 59.9% shooting**, while Illinois State’s record book shows a bigger season where he led the team in **scoring (9.9 ppg), rebounding (5.9 rpg), field-goal percentage (.537), blocks (62), and minutes played**.[1][4] That combination suggests a player coaches can trust to do the dirty work, finish around the rim, and anchor possessions without needing the offense run through him.[1][4] He looks like a strong fit for teams wanting a high-effort, low-maintenance frontcourt piece rather than a pure stretch big or primary creator.[1][4]
