Drew Timme’s hot start to the G League season hasn’t gone unnoticed by members of the Los Angeles Lakers front office.

TEMPE, Ariz. – Adam Miller walked onto the floor for pregame warmups at 6:55 p.m. PT, more than an hour before No. 19 Gonzaga and Arizona State tipped off late Friday night.

TEMPE, Ariz. – “Straightforward” and “simple” would not be the first terms that come to mind when describing Adam Miller’s six-year college basketball journey, but the veteran Gonzaga guard generally has fond memories from a two-year pit stop at Arizona State.

One week into the college basketball season, Gonzaga's Graham Ike is still garnering preseason All-American recognition. 

As season-opening wins go, Creighton’s 92-76 decision over South Dakota last Wednesday was on the more unsettling side.

Gonzaga players and coaches deserve credit for the defensive adjustments they made toward the end of the 2024-25 season, allowing the Zags to transform from a group that was painful to watch at times into one that finished inside the top 30 of KenPom’s defensive efficiency ratings.

Gonzaga’s nonconference game against Oregon on Dec. 21 at Portland’s Moda Center will be the first of two meetings between the Pacific Northwest powers over the next few seasons.

The Zags extended their winning streak in season openers to 22 with a rout of visiting Texas Southern.

After securing four commitments last month, Gonzaga continues to make headway with some of the top high school prospects in the country.

From Archbishop Carroll High in northwest Philadelphia, it’s almost a straight shot – so close in proximity, locals might measure the distance in terms of city blocks rather than miles.
