The Andre Drummond Thread

[Cashius X]

Based on a 1 game sample size?

Yes.

But seriously though. I have him in fantasy basketball and this past week he's been surprisingly better...at least percentage wise.

Drummond would be the "Varejao" replacement, not the Tristan replacement.

Tristan and Drummond would be a mean rebounding front-court but offensively...?

Trade TT? Cause he was suppose to have some sort of offensive game this year after switching hands remember?

Tristan hasn't played well with Bynum in the starting line up but I think he will figure it out offensively. Once our team learns to share the ball and make the game easier for each other, Tristan will be fine. He can make free throws.

So if you have TT and Drummond and they can't co-exist, you would trade away Drummond who's almost 3 years younger, got ideal size and athleticism for both center and pf spots? I think that's what Chris Grant would do too.

Drummond with 30-18-6 steals, 2 blocks. So thankful I have him on both my fantasy teams.

How many teams are sick for passing over Drummond? Absolute beast and only 20 yrs old.

On 12-15 shooting. But 7-18 from the foul line. He's still a role player folks! Still gotta prove himself against NBA starting caliber defense!

The team that took him sucks too.

The team that took him sucks too.

Is he Lebron? Do we evaluate young, emerging players solely on team performance?

And that team has 3 championships under it's belt. How much championships does the other teams that passed on him have total? How about Finals appearance?

I was just countering that point that the teams that passed on him all suck. Well, Detroit isn't exactly lighting a fire under anybody's ass. They're sitting three games under .500 and have yet to beat a single team with a winning record.

And come the fuck on. If it's fair to comment that the teams that passed on him suck it's entirely fair to comment that the team that took him isn't much better even after signing a free agent to essentially a max contract and trading for a veteran point guard.

The Pistons franchise has 3 championships, the team currently that Drummond is on has done the same as the Cavaliers the last two years which is nothing. That was Jack's point.

I don't understand how this is relevant when evaluating Drummond.
