Another monster game from AD

I can't believe how far his offense has come. He is not just an offensive vulture that cleans up misses. His jump hooks and post moves are legit. He is even showing the ability to catch the ball on the wing and dribble into the lane. Amazing he lasted till the 9th pick.
 
Classic case of a guy with incredible talent willing to put in the work to reach his potential. He worked like a dog the last two summers and it's paying dividends.

This is the start of a perennial all-star career for Drummond. Very happy for him. He looks similar to Cousins but instead he has a good head on his shoulders. He will represent UConn really well for many years.

Cousins with class
 
The next step in his offensive development will be to catch it in the post, turn and face, and make the 12-14 foot jump shot. If he learns that, he will be the best big man in the league (along with Davis) for a decade.

It also doesn't hurt that, unlike most UConn stars, he's in the perfect situation with the perfect coach. I'm really excited to see how this works out.
 
Just got named player of the week for the second consecutive week! Wonder if that's a first for a UConn alum. Amazing what AD is doing as he just starts scratching the surface of his immense ability.

Breaking News: 18 year old athletically gifted but raw big man improves and matures tremendously in the following three years, as he is allowed to work and focus on his game 24/7 w the best instruction and competition in the world. Shocking stuff. That second post is stupid.

Only the first one makes sense.

I'm sure the millions of dollars at stake doesn't hurt

He will, but he doesn't need it yet. His first step is too quick for most big guys.

What's even funnier than the whole "Drummond sucked/didn't play hard at UConn" crowd is that he in fact nearly averaged a double double in Big East play.

He was good here (nobody could've lived up to the Drummond hype machine) and he's only getting better now.

Great ambassador for UConn in the league.
 
These were Drummond's teammates at UConn. Not a bad bunch.

Anyway this kind of puts this year's expectations in perspective, and makes one (or at least me) appreciate our Championships.

Shabazz Napier
Jeremy Lamb
D. Daniels
Alex Oriakhi
Andre Drummond
Ryan Boatright
Roscoe Smith
Niels Giffey

Looks like Andre matches up with DeMarcus Cousins tonight. Should be an interesting gauge for Andre. I haven't paid too much attention to their match ups in the past, but I am under the impression it was a toss up. The NBA world will notice if Andre out-muscles and out-quick's Cousins tonight.

Great article from Number Fire: 'Breaking Down Andre Drummond's Ridiculous Start'

Best line from the article. Hell, best line in this thread... " If Drummond could only rebound on offense, he'd still average more per game than Lakers' 7-foot-2 center Roy Hibbert. With 7.2 offensive rebounds per game, Drummond would rank in the top 50 when only counting his rebounds on offense. "
