Drew has been a great scorer and All-around contributor for the Gonzaga Bulldogs. His popularity has been a source of multiple conversations about how good he has proven to be for Gonzaga and other new joiners to the Bulldogs team.

But Drew was not the face of Gonzaga Basketball by the end of his first year with the team. Flaws in the game and lacking confidence didn’t allow him to be a scorer and defender which he is today.

In the 2022-2023 season, Drew averaged 21 points and one block per game; a significant improvement from his first season where he barely averaged 10 points and a block per game. It will be interesting to see which team picks him in the 2023 NBA Draft.

In this article, we want to know more about the Gonzaga Forward.

Drew Timme’s Height

Drew Timme stands 6 feet 10 inches tall. Being tall can have significant benefits for players in certain positions on the basketball court, and power forwards are no exception. For Power Forwards, height is often their most helpful asset.

Being close to 7 feet tall allows Drew Timme to have more control over rebounds during offensive and defensive plays. This gives the advantage of converting missed attempts into needed baskets.

Timme's height also allows him to be physically imposing on both ends of the court. Defensively he is able to block shots with greater ease while also deterring opposing players from driving towards the basket due to their fear of being blocked by someone much taller than them. On offense, his height gives him superior reach around defenders allowing him to execute layups and dunks with relative ease.

Height also allows Power Forwards to be more efficient shooters as they aim downwards towards smaller defenders rather than horizontally across bigger ones.

Drew Timme’s Other Physical Attributes

Drew Timme has a Wingspan of 7 feet 2 inches. This Wingspan will be beneficial for Drew’s rebounding efforts and blocks around the rim. Drew weighs about 235 pounds. His weight correlates to his athleticism and efficient movement on the court since agility is as much of a necessity for centers as any other position on the court.

Some Talented Power Forwards that have played in the NBA

Over the years, there have been many exceptional power forwards who have played in the NBA, but none have had a level of impact on the court than Tim Duncan.

Tim played for the San Antonio Spurs, spending a memorable 19 seasons with the organization from `1997 to 2016. Tim has been a five-time champion with the Spurs and won the Finals MVP honor three times. He is also a two-time winner of the league MVP award and made 15 All-Star appearances. Duncan's skills as a post player might still be unmatched by many in the league.

Another legendary power forward is Charles Barkley. Though Charles couldn’t manage to win a championship during his NBA career which spanned 17 seasons, Barkley was still without much doubt one of the most dominant players of his generation.

A more recent standout at Power Forward is Dirk Nowitzki who spent his entire career playing for Dallas Mavericks from 1998 till 2019 and led the team to their only Championship victory against the Miami Heat back in 2011.

Kevin Garnett too had quite a career in the Power Forward position, having enjoyed great success with Boston Celtics including winning Championships alongside Paul Pierce & Ray Allen.

With his College days behind him, Drew will look to leave an impact if he gets selected in the 2023 NBA Draft. This year’s prospects are some of the most talented Basketball players, meaning that competition will be tough for players like Timme who will look to prove their mettle regardless of the level of Competition.
