Statistics: 8.6 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 1.7 APG, 1.3 SPG, 36.0% FG/40.0% 3PT/.1000% FT

Timberlake’s shooting splits don’t look too promising here, but we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt considering he’s been an elite jump shooter for five years at the collegiate level. Even though his shot wasn’t falling, he attracted plenty of attention from opposing defenses. Whether it be in the starting rotation or on the bench, he should maintain a serviceable role. The Towson transfer proved that he is much more than a 3-point sniper.
