All basketball players dream about playing in the NBA and going up against the stars you've been a fan of your entire life. A very small number of players make that dream a reality. Gonzaga star Drew Timme has a chance to make his dreams happen.
Recently, Timme made an appearance on Preedictions by ClutchPoints where he revealed the four players he would love to play against. The stunning list began with a couple of legends from the past. It featured two Hall of Fame players, who are known for getting busy in the low post.
“I would love to play against Hakeem (Olajuwon) or Kevin McHale just to try to stack my footwork and fakes up against those two,” Timme said. “Those are two guys that I admired and try to model my game after.”
When it came to current stars, the talented junior selected two of the NBA’s best centers. One has won league MVP, and the other could be on his way to winning the award this season.
“Definitely (Nikola) Jokic, I love his game. I love his footwork and Joel Embiid as well,” Timme added. “I like how they just are dominant when everyone wants to talk about Steph Curry. They're just big men getting it done, and I think that's so cool, and that's something that I definitely love about their game. So I would love to learn from them.”
This season, Drew Timme is averaging 17.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. He has helped Gonzaga secure the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and they are facing Georgia State in the first round of the competition.
Timme is on his way to sharing the court with guys like Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid. But first, he has a few more college players to deal with.
