Phoenix Suns Claim Forward Drew Timme
20 Oct
Summary
- Suns claimed Gonzaga standout Drew Timme off waivers.
- Timme joins on a two-way contract, prioritizing skill and size.
- He brings passing, defense, and interior scoring ability.
The Phoenix Suns have made another roster move, claiming forward Drew Timme off waivers. This follows the earlier decision to waive Kobe Brea and CJ Huntley. Timme, a 6'9" power forward known as "Union President," will occupy the final two-way contract slot.
Timme brings a versatile offensive game, including passing ability, a capable defensive presence, and scoring touch around the basket. While his perimeter shooting remains a developing aspect, his G League production and offensive skill set offer the Suns a developmental option. He previously played for the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers, and was most recently waived by the Timberwolves.
This acquisition suggests the Suns are prioritizing skill and size over shooting for their final two-way spot. Timme, who recently turned 26, has earned All-NBA G League Second Team honors twice. He now has an opportunity to prove he belongs in Phoenix's long-term plans as the regular season approaches.
