Profile / Career notes

One of the deadliest shooters in the game of basketball, especially in catch and shoot situations...  Tim knows how to get the ball in the basket and is a very capable offensive player that can also take the ball to the basket from the outside and can post up smaller defenders... can never be left open or he will score... likes to use the pump fake to get defenders in the air, go by them and stop for the mid-range jumper... a hardworking player that hustles and gives a 110% every time out on the floor... works hard in defense and has good footwork... great free-throw shooter who you can rely on at the line in a close game... good clutch player that likes to take (and make) big shots... great guy and a great teammate... Tim played college basketball in his hometown for D1 School Drexel where he was a All-CAA 2ndTeam player his senior year... has since he left college been an All-Star in four seasons overseas, starting with his year in Mattersburg, Austria, following up in Leeuwarden in Holland and then he spent the last two seasons in Sweden (Sundsvall Dragons 2006-2007, Jämtland Basket 2007-2008), where he really made a name for himself with his deadly shooting abilities... shot the ball 51,3% from threepointland in the regular season in 06-07 and 97,1% from the FT-line!... did very well with Jämtland in 2007-2008 despite playing the main part of the season out of position at the Power Forward spot...
