Former Gonzaga University bigs Drew Timme and Anton Watson are practicing with LeBron James and playing alongside former West Coast Conference rival Augustus Maru010diulionis.
Yes, you read that correctly. At the current stage of their professional basketball journeys, the former college roommates at GU have reunited in the frontcourt of the South Bay Lakers in the NBA G League, have shared a practice court with James while the NBA legend is recovering from a sciatica injury and are teammates with standout Saint Mary’s point guard Maru010diulionis.
Both Timme and Watson have enjoyed stints in the top flight — most notably Timme’s nine-game run with the Brooklyn Nets last season, in which he put up three double-doubles — but both now find themselves starting the new 2025-26 season suiting up for the Los Angeles Lakers’ G League affiliate.
