Washpun and Timmer are both good players but after watching UNI and Drake against ISUr that past two games my observation would be that there is a serious lack of talent on both of their rosters.

They are worse. They are the Zoolander's of college basketball. They aren't ambi-dribblers/drivers.

I haven't noticed it but also haven't looked for it.

I'm also a lefty and tend to give other lefties a break :)

Timmer is extremely dependent on his left hand, but is improving in this area. In one recent game, he made two right handed layups after driving in with a right handed dribble.

Interesting. Emmenecker and Timmer both good players, but I don't think there are many similarities in their game. Emmenecker much more of a passer, Timmer much more of a scorer.

Bulldog fans growing increasingly frustrated with Giacoletti and his usage of personnel. Every Drake fan I've talked to thinks the major problem is the two Big 10 transfers, but Giacoletti still gives them 30-35 minutes per game. I suppose after he spent all of last season telling us (Drake fans) how great those two were, he won't admit his mistake.


I totally agree one is a scorer & one is a passer. I meant more in a sense that they have the same build, attitude, energy, & finesse.
