Gonzaga legend Drew Timme is showing out in the NBA Summer League, averaging 26.0 points on a 62.2 field goal percentage, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals through two games. That scoring output ranks second in the entire showcase. The 6-10 forward easily looks like the best player out on the floor, with this being his third summer league appearance. Timme made possibly the play of the summer with a between-the-legs pass and then the poster slam on Washington Wizards forward/center Alex Sarr.
During his 30-point scoring affair against the Wizards, he was receiving loud ‘MVP’ chants from the crowd at the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels’ Thomas & Mack Center. The footwork with his post moves will always be perfection, and his motor/overall aggressiveness slider will always be turned all the way up.
Even ESPN personality Kendrick Perkins and his fellow Brooklyn teammate and guard Egor Demin can’t believe their own eyes when watching what Timme’s been able to put together this summer.
“Man, he’s an amazing player. This is crazy. I think guys from other teams underestimate him. He proves them wrong... I hear stories from people who know him from Gonzaga about him being annoyingly good. These two games, he’s been annoyingly good.” - Egor Demin on Drew Timme via ClutchPoints’ Erik Slater
