"One of the tallest players who will be selected Thursday in the N.B.A. draft is Andre Drummond. A 7-foot center, Drummond is also one of the most intriguing prospects

"Drummond, 18, was the youngest of the 12 projected lottery picks who gathered at a Manhattan hotel for interviews Wednesday. In many ways, he is the most unproven of the group. Some draft analysts say the true ceiling of Drummond’s potential is unknown — maybe even higher than anyone else’s in the class. Drummond entered the hotel with a wide grin, one that signified he was ready to hear his name called at the Prudential Center...

Great article. Spot on. Andre is unproven but hasn't even begun to scratch his potential. He easily has the highest ceiling of anyone in the draft. I hope he develops a little bit of a mean streak and starts dominating like he can.

if it ever all comes together for AD the pistons will become a force in the east. he has the talent to be the next great center the nba will see. this guy can someday be a 25-12 a night player easily. the problem is he could end up being kwame brown.

Drummond can pass. He and Greg Monroe could be a good pairing going forward.

If your the Pistons, the 9 spot was perfect. If it doesn't work out, you know you needed to pick him, and if it does, you got an all-star in the late lottery.
