Drew Timme has ben one of the more exciting Los Angeles Lakers' additions this season and between his time at the NBA and G-League level, Timme has been looking to add a new dimension to his game. 

Timme has historically been a defense-first power forward in his two seasons so far, but he's been looking to change that and make himself into more of an offensive threat. In today's NBA, offense can come from anywhere and the traditional roles of each position are changing by they day. 

One way that's changed has been the fact that three point shooting can come from anyone, anywhere and at any position. No longer is that skillset reserved for guards and small forwards. Now power forwards like Timme and centers are even mixing in three point capabilities.

That's part of why Timme has been working to level up his three point shooting. Timme has had limited opportunities so far this season to mix in three point shooting as he's playing just over eight minutes per game and averaging 3.7 points, but despite the production, his shooting efficiency shows a lot of promise.

"It's something you have to have in today's game, and it's something that I've really been working at," Timme said of his three point shooting (via The Sporting Tribune). "I feel like I've been shooting the ball pretty well lately. I just continue to get that confidence, and it helps."

Timme described his six-year process of working on his perimeter shooting and gave a lot of credit to his high school coach, Marc Johnson, who has continued to put Timme through shooting workouts even though Timme has long since graduated. 

With a field goal percentage of 56.5% and a three point percentage of 41.2%, Timme's work to transform himself into a shooter is certainly paying off.

He's increased his three point shooting by close to 16% compared to his rookie season and while the hours he's put into his workouts obviously play a big part, the trust his team has put into him is another factor. 

Timme has credited Lakers head coach JJ Redick and South Bay Lakers head coach Zach Guthrie for encouraging him to keep on shooting and giving them the trust that his shots are going to go in when he lets them fly. With how important the mental side of shooting is, that instillment of confidence goes a long way for a young player like Timme.

"I think that's been a huge part because if you don't believe it's gonna go in, it's definitely not going in. Those guys help give me the confidence to keep shooting it," Timme said.
