The Andre Drummond Thread

[CSF]

Terrible start to the season for Drummond and still no improvement on defensive impact. I hate to root against someone for seemingly nothing, but seeing Drummond live up to his potential like Anthony Davis is (not that Drummond can be that dominant with his limited offense) would have killed me if Dion never turns into a star. It'll hurt if Embiid or Nerlens or Wiggins or Bennett ever blow up as well.

Heck, I'd take the dude who was dratfed #13 in 2013

Third year players sorted by VORP that have played 40 minutes: http://bkref.com/tiny/PK9vA

Waiters & Drummond are at the bottom.

But it is early in the season and both are adjusting to new coaches. It could all change a lot in 10 games, especially if Waiters keeps ripping off +45 p/m games.

your chances of being killed are high

This article helps explain Andre's awful start to the year. Van Gundy trying to mold him into D12-lite. He looks well on his way...relying on his athleticism early in his career vs. trying to develop any other aspects of his game. Keep up the good work, SVG!

Drummond looks very far from Dwight. He seems to play well against the Bucks so had a couple of good games but then proceeded to put up 1-8 stinker against the Warriors. Based on what he's done, DeAndre Jordan type seems a fairer career track projection. Still could be a significant impact player but he's not playing like a future Dwight type superstar

Well, he isn't doing anything to dispel the notion that he is an idiot.

Better than a snap titled "morning wood'.

I don't see how that makes him an idiot.

He's coming around of late though. Looking like the player everyone thought he would be coming into this season. Just needs to stay out of foul trouble.

He was driving nearly 100 miles per hour without a seat-belt and managed to take a picture of his heroics. I would like to hear how this isn't stupid behavior. Are you sure it isn't just another opportunity to slam the disagree button Cashius? If only the dumb button was still around so we could focus on the irony of you choosing that one instead.

He's 21 and that's what 21 year olds do. If you had an IG or SnapChat you'd see that people do this all the time. Not a big deal.

I literally disagree with your post citing that picture as evidence that he's dumb. I thought it was inaccurate and disrespectful. I used the function exactly as it was intended. Please stop crying to me about your rep...

Yeah, no big deal that he is documenting reckless, illegal behavior that could get him and other people killed. He is 21 and there are other idiots that do this too; that makes it okay.

Your logic isn't adding up; particularly since Drummond isn't exactly known for his intelligence on the court.

He can be an idiot. That's fine. I don't think he is but if you do that's nice.

My point was that picture doesn't prove anything.

Well, since we are splitting hairs here "Well, he isn't doing anything to dispel the notion that he is an idiot." was my actual quote. The prevailing thought when concerning Andre Drummond is he is not a smart basketball player. This picture demonstrates him breaking three separate laws; again, please enlighten us how this isn't Idiotic behavior?
