Timothe Luwawu Girlfriend

This may be the most obscure couple on the list, but a playful partnership still worth taking an eye’s view nonetheless! This is a coupling with a European bent, as Ms. Muccio sports a “pet name,” meaning it’s been shortened from a longer Italian last name, like “Giacomuccio”. Whether you can pernounce that or not, we’re interested in learning more about her.

Meanwhile, Luwawu was born in Cannes, France, home to the world-renowned film festival. Cannes is a “commune,” but that has nothing to do with a manifestation of socialist politics but rather a designation of a French civil township. Luwawu is the only “Timothe” in NBA history, and is currently averaging over six point a game for the 76ers, while seeing an average of 17 minutes per game playing time.

Timothe Luwawu Cabarrot Parents

His parents divorced while he was a child. His father, Jean Luwawu, relocated to Paris and keeps their relationship alive via text messaging. Luwawu-Cabarrot doesn’t speak much of his dad, but he acknowledges and appreciates him. He grew up surrounded by women, sandwiched between younger and older sisters Anais and Naomie.

His mother, Beatrice Cabarrot, became his closest friend, though he said she had zero influence in his pursuit of the NBA. Having both last names carved on his NBA uniform was crucial: “I wanted Luwawu-Cabarrot. These are the names on my passport. It’s respectful of my parents.” “Not having a father in his life was tough for him,” Solomon said.

Improving shooter in catch and shoot situations … Good shooter coming of screens … Can attack closeouts with his great first step … At the time he is better when driving and finishes in straight lines … Has potential to finish through contact if he bulks up his body … Occasionally can create his own shot … Excellent in transition … Can either start the break, or fill the lanes as a wing …

Ball handling is much better than it used to be … Can play the Pick and Roll at an acceptable level as the ball handler … Willing to post up smaller defenders … He is a good slasher … Has a nice court vision, which helps him make good passes … Good rebounder for his position … Can guard multiple positions …

Very good lateral quickness … Active hands on defense … Really knows how to fill the lanes and make steals … Has all the necessary tools (length, athleticism, lateral quickness) to become a lockdown defender in the future … Not afraid to shoot when the game is on the line …

Weaknesses: Has to bulk up to be able to play at the next level … He has great numbers, but that is also a result of the high tempo of Mega Leks, which helps players showcase their skills … There are doubts about how his game will translate in the NBA …

Can’t finish through contact yet, so at time he looks like he prefers to avoid it if he can, which translates to bad finishing ability at the rim … He might have improved as a shooter, but he can’t be considered a consistent threat from the perimeter yet …

His shooting release is quicker than it used to be, but it remains pretty low and his shot can be blocked … His follow through remains inconsistent at times … His ball handling still needs work … His ISO game is still a work in progress mainly due to his average ball handling …

He lacks an in-between game … Must improve his shooting of the dribble, which is below average … His decision making isn’t there yet … Has the tendency to keep the ball in his hands for more time than he has to and take bad shoots …

He seems to prefer shooting after first he has caught the ball with his left hand, which can easily been read by the defense … He has the bad habit of “disappearing” from time to time in the game … Drives almost always in straight lines, without much shake and having at times “tunnel vision” …

He can’t “read” double-teams and help defense coming his way … Turnover prone … Must improve in pick and roll situations… His back to the basket game is still in its early stages … His defense is inconsistent … Defensive I.Q must improve … His off the ball defense is mediocre, mainly because he is too focused on the ball …

Notes: He started his professional career at the age of 17 in Antibes … Has been a member of Junior Level National teams for years … He really elevated his game – and also improved drastically his draft stock – after playing for Mega Lecs in 2015/16 season, averaging 14.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in ABA League, earning a spot in All-ABA League Team…

Timothe Luwawu Cabarrot Injury

Luwawu-Cabarrot (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday’s season finale against the Bucks.

Luwawu-Cabarrot finishes the 2017-18 campaign missing the final month of the season due to a knee injury. While the 22-year-old wing was apart of the regular rotation early on in the season, he appeared to fall out in the second half, averaging just 7.0 minutes over the final nine games he played in.

While Luwawu-Cabarrot will be back with the Sixers heading into the 2018-19 season, the Sixers young core is still pretty much intact, so he’ll likely have a tough time generating a much larger role in his third season.
