Talking Zags: Robert Sacre says Drew Timme is 'a million dollar player in Europe'

Former Gonzaga standout believes Timme would benefit more from playing overseas in Europe

Despite a decorated college career, Drew Timme hasn't found his footing in the NBA.

After going undrafted, the former Gonzaga All-American was released by the Milwaukee Bucks just days before the 2023-24 NBA season tipped off. Timme appeared in four Summer League games and two preseason exhibitions with the team, and while he'll have a chance to showcase his skillset with the Wisconsin Herd in the G-League, his old-school style of play is a questionable fit in today's NBA.

That's not to say the 23-year-old can't develop and adapt, but perhaps a back-to-the-basket big man like himself would have more opportunities to succeed in a professional league overseas in Europe.

Former Gonzaga standout and NBA veteran Robert Sacre thought it was "wild" that Timme was released by the Bucks, though he also didn't see it as the right fit for the program's all-time leading scorer. Sacre breaks down Timme's fit in the NBA and potential success overseas, as well as his own expectations for the 2023-24 Gonzaga Bulldogs, his mindset as a high school coach and more in episode four of Talking Zags.
