After going undrafted on Thursday, former Gonzaga forward Drew Timme has agreed to sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the Bucks, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link).
Timme spent four college seasons at Gonzaga, building an impressive résumé before declaring for the 2023 draft as an early entrant. He was a three-time consensus All-American and won the WCC Player of the Year award in both 2022 and 2023.
In his final year with the Bulldogs, the 6’10” big man averaged 21.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 31.5 minutes per game across 37 appearances, making 61.6% of his shots from the floor.
Timme’s Exhibit 10 contract will be a one-year, non-guaranteed deal worth the rookie minimum. Milwaukee will have the option of converting it into a two-way contract prior to the regular season. Timme could also earn a bonus worth up to $75K if he’s waived and then spends at least 60 days with the Wisconsin Herd, the Bucks’ G League affiliate.
Timme is the second undrafted free agent reported to have reached a contract agreement with Milwaukee. The team is also set to sign San Jose State’s Omari Moore to a two-way deal.
And boom goes the dynamite.
Good 3rd PF off the bench. One trick pony but good at what he does
Hopefully he develops his game. Was nice watching him at Gonzaga, but idk that he sticks in the league.
Maybe ends up a sleeper. No one rated Jokic that high. Not saying he’s a Jokic but still a little surprised he wasn’t drafted. He has court awareness which can’t always be taught. I can see him turning heads this year.
He’s been the same player for the last 3 college seasons. Truly great college post player, without the size or athleticism for it to project well to the NBA. Guys like that used to get long looks. Now, with post play itself devalued, it gets them nowhere. Hard to believe he couldn’t improve at least his FT shooting, although it likely wouldn’t have mattered. Should be somewhere he can play if that’s what he wants. Probably in another country.
