Drew Timme Discussion: Who Knew

I haven’t wanted to make a thread for him and jinx it, but he deserves one right now. I don’t know how long he sticks around, but he’s helped win us a couple games now with his energy and hustle, smart passing, and skilled scoring. Keep giving him Dalton’s minutes, just keep doing it, he doesn’t have Dalton’s physical tools, but he’s so much smarter and more fundamentally sound, and he isn’t worse than him on defense, because you can’t be. I’ll gladly be wrong on this one if he can continue to be a solid role player for us, hell I was calling for him to be cut for Bufkin, and now I say keep rolling with it and see what happens.

 

Absolutely true and why I’m still not sure he’s an NBA player. My main thing is for now he’s at least giving us positive offensive minutes where Dalton gives us nothing. He’s creating good shots for others and himself, and we lack depth so badly on the bench that that pops right away. When Austin comes back Dalton’s minutes likely disappear, which means Timme’s would as well, so I don’t think it’s a long-term issue. Hopefully we make a move or two that adds to starting lineup and bench depth that maybe makes this a non-issue as well, but who knows. If nothing else and this ends soon, skilled back to the basket good passing bigs are so rare these days it’s been fun to watch one again. Like this sort of stuff, we don’t have many guys that do this, you’re not gonna see Rui do this much, but it matters
