If you are one of those people that makes the "haha he is like 35!" Jokes then you should shut the fuck up, why the hell is timme so disrespected I don’t get it, maybe cause he dominates everyone and has scored 20+ one everyone’s favorite college team, but I love timme, not only do I love him I think he will be a great NBA center, the guy is 22, not young but 25 year old Chris Duarte went first round last year so who cares, drew is like Tim Duncan, he finds easy ways to score and isn’t at all flashy, but he will be a fundamental reason for a team’s success, if you don’t like timme then get a job you autistic clown.

STRENGTHS:
Overall feel of the game and passing instincts are great, only improves his offensive versatility; especially great as a short-roll playmaker
Great post finisher with great footwork, was really comfortable finishing with either hand; utilized drop steps and up-and-unders a ton
Utilized his physical build to create contact, absorb it and remain composed when finishing at the rim
A legit high motor player who really runs hard down the floor, on the break, in transition, etc.; you are going to get good play out of him in that department
WEAKNESSES:
Was not a floor spacer (24 three-point attempts, only four made)
Lacks athleticism and speed; really struggled with guarding on the perimeter
Overall physique is lacking compared to other prospects ahead of him, in terms of length and athletic traits
Defensive awareness was not very good, had a hard time being a drop-big, not knowing how low to go on a pick-and-roll
Rebounding was not very fundamental; it is probably contributed to his lack of physical and athletic traits
OUTLOOK: Drew Timme had an excellent collegiate career. His low post scoring is extremely effective and knows how to put the ball on the floor and distribute. He'll be working at a disadvantage in regards to his old-school play style and physical stature. Combine his lack of shooting range and athleticism with the fact that he is a true power forward with no versatility at the center position, and it is going to take a dramatic turn in shot selection and shot profile for him to be an effective rotation player. He was a great collegiate player who will have some strides to make in every aspect of his game at the next level.
Player Comparison: Shades of Spencer Hawes and David Lee
Projected Draft Position: Undrafted
Best Fits: Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, San Antonio Spurs

Terrific post player in college, crafty footwork Solid use of spins and fakes in the lane Effective screener, cooked on PNR sets in Gonzaga Real liability on defense, not a threat Not a versatile defensive player, can't guard out on the perimeter Poor reactivity on defense, doesn't process the decisions of his man nearly quick enough Not an athletic finisher, relies on post moves Just not an NBA player, game centers and succeeds against lower level interior college players By no means a shooter. Sluggish lower body form and upper movement, locked knees, J shot, not an L Solid rip-through moves in the post, puts his head down and works on the block, worked for half-a-decade in Gonzaga Sometimes tries to do a bit too much, travels, finds himself trapped as a result Real solid touch on those smaller, 8ft. Tips, so pure Comfortable using either hand Just doesn’t have the height or length to defend effectively, not a force Only converts if feet are in concrete, just a bit of movement shakes off his touch Effective rebounder at the collegiate level, double-double machine, blocks out Not a big, open target in the post, small with short hands, overtaken by lengthy bigs Draws a lot of fouls, plays a calm game under aggressive, physical bigs. Makes their physicality a weakness Sometimes leans into defense a bit too much in the post, gets chair pulled behind him, loses balance and/or fouls Absorbs contact really well, frustrated Bediako with hang time on his layup. Such a relaxed game In 4-year career at Gonzaga, Timme never played well in elimination games, easy to figure out as a player, becomes ineffective Kind of snaps at the ball, doesn’t absorb inlet passes Plays well with talented guards (like Jalen Suggs), perfect partner in crime (crime scene being the pnr) Versatile finisher, tough to predict Solid as a putback forward Non-dominant through true interior physicality Decent playmaker in the post

Tier 6.5 : Overseas talent
All it takes is one team to buy Timme's post game, improved face-up skill and passing for an offensive-specialist role off the bench. A battle-test and accomplished college star, Drew Timme has certainly earned his opportunity at the next level. How his game fits in the modern NBA is an open-ended question, but there’s still appeal in such a skilled, dominant post scorer.
