Video of Timoty van der Knaap playing in championship game of NextGen Cup

Timoty had 3 points in the 1st quarter, and then did not play much in the 2nd quarter, so don't think he had more than 3 in the half.
Tortona leads Milano 38-33 at halftime. Timoty is not starting the 2nd half.
 
van der Knaap played a few minutes in the 3rd quarter and had a basket, but then picked up his 4th foul and was taken out late in the quarter.
Tortona leads 60-55 at the end of 3 quarters.
 
game is so much faster
- shot clock is just 24 sec
- resets to only 12 sec on offensive rebounds
- any uncontested out-of-bounds play can be inbounded instantly without referee involvement, so turnovers head the other way so fast

Tortona loses on a "buzzer beater"
 
Tortona lead 71-66 at the first stoppage after the 4:00 mark, at which point the target score was set at 79 points (similar to the Elam ending). The clock was turned off, and the first team to 79 would win. Tortona had their chances, but Milano came back and won 79-76. Timoty van der Knaap, who had foul problems and missed time in the 1st and 2nd half, played well and ended with 8 points.

The MVP of the tournament was 18 year old, 6'9" big man Francesco Ferrari, # 32 on the Milano team.
He was very good, and was especially effective scoring inside on Tortona.

Watched the parts of the game that Timoty played. He didn't seem to play even half the game (I think some foul trouble), but I like his off-the-dribble game and his length could be tough to stop when he drives to the bucket. His team didn't have anyone as good as Hannah or Duke, so his being a bench guy on a team that is arguably not as strong as BU makes me think he will be used sparingly this next season, much like Atlason, but don't think he's starter material. He's not even 19, so he has much room for improvement!

I haven't seen enough of him. He obviously needs to get stronger and with his advantageous length, needs to learn to rebound better. If he is a defensive liability, that will hurt his chances to see significant playing time too.
 
Wardle's offense prides itself on movement. Timothy moves very well for big guy. I can see him doing very well in Wardle's offense
