2024 Fantasy Outlook
After going undrafted in 2023, Timme spent time with the Bucks during training camp but ultimately started his first pro campaign in the G League. He posted modest production for the Wisconsin Herd and got another chance with the Kings last offseason. Once again, he failed to make the Opening Night roster and spent most of his time in the G League. However, the Gonzaga product dominated for the Long Island Nets in 2024-25, averaging 23.9 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks while posting 57/39/73 shooting splits. Timme got his first NBA regular-season action at the end of last season, averaging 12.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 28.2 minutes across Brooklyn's final 12 games (two starts). Although it was limited action when the Nets were clearly tanking, Timme showed enough to warrant the organization exercising his 2025-26 team option. After showing out during a couple of Summer League games, Timme was shut down for rest purposes and will be competing for frontcourt playing time on Opening Night for the first time in his career. With Nic Claxton the likely starter, Timme will battle with long-time backup Day'Ron Sharpe and rookie Danny Wolf for playing time. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Drew Timme was a top-50 prospect in his high school class, playing for J.J. Pearce High School in Texas. He was named second-team All-State behind 27.7 points, 17.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists as a senior. After considering collegiate offers from Texas A&M, Texas, Michigan State, Illinois, Arizona and Alabama, Timme opted for Gonzaga. As a freshman, he played mostly off the bench but gained a full-time starter role as a sophomore. That season, he led Gonzaga to the title game and earned first-team All-WCC and second-team All-America honors in addition to winning the Karl Malone Award. Again as a junior, Timme was named second-team All-America, but he also added a WCC Player of the Year award to his shelf. He broke onto first-team All-America as a senior while averaging 21.2 points on 61.6 percent shooting, 7.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 blocks in 31.6 minutes. He shared co-WCC Player of the Year honors with Brandin Podziemski of Santa Clara. As a senior, Timme also set the all-time Gonzaga men's basketball scoring record with 2,307. Offensively, Timme is a traditional big with a deep post-up arsenal that starts with a soft right-hand jump hook and continues with every counter in the book. His touch and smooth footwork help him gain an advantage over bigger centers. He's also effective in the pick-and-roll, capable of making a couple of dribbles and/or dishing to teammates. Timme's rebounding is also up to par, always looking for a man to box out. Defensively, the center usually tries to beat the driver to the spot rather than challenge at the rim, and he's best staying in the paint. Timme's archetype as a post-up big is becoming less and less common, but we've seen a recent success story in Domantas Sabonis. To provide the most value possible, Timme's game likely needs to evolve, though his flashes as a passer are encouraging for some high-post actions, and his paint-floater is solid. Defense may always be an issue, but the same could be said for Sabonis. Timme may need time in the G League to develop his game into a more modern, versatile style. He has the potential to make a career as a bench big.

Lands two-way deal
CSouth Bay Lakers   G League (Lakers)
November 24, 2025
Timme signed a two-way contract with the Lakers on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Timme began the 2025-26 season in the G League with the South Bay Lakers, averaging 25.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.2 steals in his first six appearances. He'll serve as a strong depth option at center, though it's unlikely he'll see regular minutes at the NBA level.
