Just watching Bama/Gonzaga game and curious what everyone thinks of Timmes chances in the NBA compared to Oscars chances- would anyone trade Oscar for Timme just for their college career- go KY Cats !!

Timme has no future in the NBA. He’s an unathletic white dude with old man moves in the paint.

Oscar might get a cup of coffee, but maybe he'll impress someone and get to stay for a minute.

2 different players. Timme can move all over the floor. Oscar not so much. Timme probably more appealing to the pros based on versatility! But Oscar as a person---Outstanding individual. Someone has to have a Roster spot for him based on being a Lockeroom guy and an ambassador to the community!

Oscar should have a long career as a backup rebounder. Guy tips rebounds to himself better then anyone I’ve ever seen not named Rodman. Timme won’t last long without a 3 point shot.

Timme is a great college player and uses his smarts and guile to score without jumping much. Not sure that will translate in the NBA.

Like him or not, Timme is kind of the perfect college player. Not good enough for the NBA, but excels at the college level and stays 4 years. I would think some team takes a second round chance on him.

Oscar's a devout Christian. In the woke society of the NBA, that won't be tolerated well. As far as playing, I think OT could be a better version of MKG.

We could all get on Timmes back and hop a trip to California everytime he makes a move to the basket

They both project to be pretty limited players at the next level since they lack the athleticism to play anywhere but the 5 while offering nothing in terms of rim protection on defense or 3 point range on offense. So you’re basically looking at whose strength could allow them to get a chance as a role player. In that area, I’d guess Oscar’s rebounding will translate better against NBA competition than Timme’s old-school post moves.

Think OT has more upside. Still learning.

I'm smelling a cup of NBA coffee and a growler of Europe for these 2.

Oscar will have a long career, a la Chuck Hayes. Has the heart and hustle. Timme will probably bounce around and fill the role of white guy who comes in if there's an injury and uses his 6 fouls.
