In what universe would anyone take Sean O'Brien in front of say Klint Carlson?

Even being a homer, I don't know what WSU player I wouldn't want over Reed Timmer.

I'd rather have Timmer than Frankamp.

And before you give me all the stats of what Frankamp did in high school and how he was recruited by Kansas and how Timmer didn't have any good offers...I know all of it already and I don't care. Right now, I would take Timmer over Frankamp.

I don't even like Frankamp and I don't buy that. I would literally rather have JR Simon.

Mostly it does illustrate a point though.....the league needs a lot more talent than it has right now.

That's just ridiculous. I know Drake is bad, but Timmer is a player.

I guess I'm just a sucker for guards that can dribble with both hands.

This is the dumbest excuse I hear when people are talking about Timmer. Why does his right hand matter if no one can stop his left. He averaged 17 a game last season, so either one of two things are happening...

1. Everyone's scouting is horrible and no one knows he can only go left or
2. He's more than good enough with his left hand to mask his deficiencies with his right.

The dude is a player

#TeamTimmer

Not sure I see a substantial point against him. If he predominately uses his left i haven't noticed it yet and clearly the league hasn't adjusted well enough because he still does work. The fact that people can't acknowledge he's a good player is just cringe worthy; make a solid case for someone!

His stats as a sophomore were pretty impressive; ahead of Anthony Beane's sophomore and Junior campaigns in almost every category (he was a second teamer both seasons); not to mention if he shot at a higher percentage he could be around Balentines numbers. Everyone knows the balls going to him and he's still efficient. Glancing at his game by game at his stats he had very few games where he didn't show up. If there's one player you don't want going off on you from Drake it's Timmer. The team's not great but I'm not gonna knock a talented kid because of it.

Kid can ball.
