Drew Timme gets another NBA shot with Milwaukee Bucks' G-League team

Drew Timme will have another shot at the NBA, this time with the Milwaukee Bucks' G-League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd.

After the former Gonzaga men's basketball star was waived by the Bucks during training camp, he earned a spot on the Herd's 18-man training camp roster that was announced Monday. Timme notably joins Alex Antetokounmpo, brother of Giannis Antetokounmpo, as well as Glenn Robinson III, son of former Bucks' all-star Glen Robinson. Marques Bolden, TyTy Washington Jr. and Lindell Wigginton also headline the roster as two-way players.

As a G-League player, Timme is still able to sign a contract with an NBA team similar to a normal free agent. The deadline for which a team can sign a player is March 1. Players can also sign 10-day contracts beginning Jan. 5.

For now, Timme will prepare for the upcoming G-League season during training camp, which runs from Oct. 30-Nov. 9. The G-League Showcase Cup Season Tip Off begins the next day, as the 31 teams compete in a single-elimination tournament that will crown a champion at the Winter Showcase in December. The official 34-game regular season tips off Dec. 27.

The Herd's first game of the season is Nov. 10 against the Cleveland Charge.

Timme, who signed an Exhibit 10 deal after going undrafted, was waived by the Bucks despite appearing in all four summer league games and two preseason contests with the team. He scored three points on 1-for-3 shooting from the field in the preseason, with his only field goal being a go-ahead layup in his debut against the Chicago Bulls. The 6-foot-10 Texan was held scoreless in his final appearance against the Oklahoma City Thunder, though he was the only Bucks player who posted a positive plus/minus ratio.

Timme was one of the most dominant college basketball players in recent history as Gonzaga's all-time leading scorer. He was a three-time All-American and a two-time West Coast Conference Player of the Year. His 301 points in the NCAA Tournament ranks sixth all-time.
