Gonzaga star basketball player Drew Timme is officially going to put his name in for the NBA Draft.
Timme had one year of eligibility left so he could’ve gone back to the school for another run but has decided against doing that.
“One of the best decisions I have ever made was to come to Spokane and Gonzaga University to play basketball in front of Zag Nation,” Timme said in a statement. “I have had the privilege to play with and be supported by the best coaches, teammates, fans, friends, and family anyone could ask for. I have forever been changed into a better person and basketball player because of that opportunity.”
“The dream has always been to play professionally. After a lot of thought and discussion, I will be putting my name in the NBA Draft. Thank you to all of those who have been a part of my journey so far. A special thanks to Coach Few and the entire GU athletic staff. The love and support have made my years at GU some of the best I will ever experience!”

Timme had a great season with the Bulldogs. He averaged 18.4 points per game and close to seven rebounds per game. He also shot 58% from the floor.
One year after reaching the national championship game, Gonzaga earned the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament once again, but fell to Arkansas in the Elite Eight.
The 2022 NBA Draft is set for Jun. 23.
