The Andre Drummond Thread

[Cavatt]

He is really good and very unique. I guess I wonder how good his fit would be. His usage is too high for our team.

There were 11 total posts in this thread in 2015 before you began calling out the mysterious "they" and "someone". All of the 11 posts were pro-Drummond too. I don't mind you posting if you like to talk about Drummond, but this bizarre anti-Andre bogeyman you have created doesn't seem to exist anymore. Drummond has won. If you like him, I would advise you enjoy his games, and not try to prove his worth to a nebulous enemy. Drummond is a beast. Everyone knows that. Literally nobody is debating that or has in over a year.

Just trying to save you some time. But I suppose I am equally wasting mine by replying to this...

Spencer Hawes getting absolutely crushed in here.

The same thing tends to happen on the court as well

You posted this shit a little too early. See two posts under you. You say Drummond is a beast and "everyone" knows that and nobody is debating it? Well, you have two recent posters that have obviously disagreed with your statement. Will you be quick to call them out? Or are you gonna be a hypocrite and not reply? Oh wait, you're a Syracuse fan? Just stick to the Dion thread bruh.

Yeah, crushed for saying Drummond was the right pick. Go back to your Dion loving ways and bring back the Dion thread.

Not sure what you mean. Can you elaborate?

Um, no I am not a Syracuse fan. Ohio State fan and alumnus. See this is another example of you creating of an enemy that isn't out there. And Torn doesn't count. He is the equivalent of a birther... you would be better off arguing with a toaster. But anyways, be my guest and continue your hobby here. Whatever makes you happy.

 

[Tornicade]

you know what does count?
Drummond shooting under 45% on contested shots.
If he is gonna carry the load offensively in the paint this will need to improve at least to 50% .

it will take more than three games to make that assesment.

The thing is he has Ersan, Tolliver and Morris to play 4 near him so he has the space to roll and do other stuff in the paint. Also Stan Van is one of the best father figures in the league and i can bet that he'll use those guys and get the best from them better than anybody else would. So i'm looking for the Detroit matchup at playoffs cuz it'll be really fun

How convenient of you. Just totally brush aside two posters (Tornicade and Futuredoe) that completely showed what an ass of an initial post that you made. Next time be a little more careful so you don't have to backtrack and make ass of yourself. I was one of the first and probably the most vocal about drafting Drummond. It was fun arguing with so many people lol. But the best gotta be Torn. I asked him to put money where his mouth is and proposed a bet to donate to RCF with the success/failure of Dion and Drummond. But similar to a coward (not calling him one now lol), he didn't accept since he knows he's all bark and no bite. You call this my hobby and I say sure, it makes my day to provide entertainment. It's all good, don't take anything personal. Only a damn message board where you can vent and fuck around and call people out on their stupidity lol.

• I think Grant made the right decision at that time.

rather happy with the lineup we have
who would you get rid of to keep drummond

• Kyrie Irving
• Lebron James
• Kevin Love

Drummond has benefited from getting a Coach who forced him to expand the game.

but Drummond so far is shooting 41% and is a close 2nd in FTA per game at which he so far is shooting 58%. which accounts for 30% of his points.

Marcus Morris is flourishing in the hedo role and im still more willing to give Credit to SVG for this start than Drummond.

However it also demonstrates that what was said about Drummond in the past was correct.

Overall Im pleased with SVG making Drummond shoot from 3-10 feet but its gonna be a process to get Drummond where he needs to be as a centerpiece franchise player who can compete for championships.

I can't believe I'm going to ask the undying supporter this, but explain your thinking.

Why would we have to give up one of them to keep Drummond, exactly?

And if your answer is because we'd have to pay him the max, I'd like you to then explain how that doesn't automatically prove he's the more valuable player compared to Dion, because you'd be implying we would not have to pay Dion as much.

Cool. Good luck defending Andre. He was the 9th pick in the draft which shows that there were plenty of question marks at the time. Had he had a better year at UConn, he goes #2 no question. That's on him. I'm glad he has turned into a very good player. He was always thought of as a boom/bust guy, so the fact that he is booming isn't exactly a surprise.

So enjoy. I'll go back to the Cavs section and let you lord over the Drummond thread.

Why would i need to do that? I never said Dion would be a max player and i never said that Drummond wouldnt be a max player

nor did i ever call drummond a scrub. in fact this is the first time i used the word on this thread.

what i did say was that Drummond was a human highlight machine with limitations.
Cavs have made it to the finals and are looking to go back. not Drafting Drummond did not cripple the franchise.

I dont see the point in lamenting we didnt get this guy nor do i see where he would have impacted wins or losses before lebron arrived.

 

[Rich]

You totally ignored my question. Why did you say if we had Drummond wed have to give up one of Love, Irving, or James? And if it isnt because of his potential future salary, what is the reason?
