did drummond really have 17 points and 14 rebounds tonight?

To me the intangibles tell more of the story of his game. At this point he is a dunk or nothing offensive player who takes ill advised shots, often gets outhustled, shies away from contact and is a late game liability due to his atrocious free throw shooting. He makes some jaw dropping plays like last night but makes a lot of mistakes and is inconsistent like most freshmen. I really hope he stays in school because he has barely scratched the surface of his potential. On another note, the last I read, the NCAA will not discuss the APR issue again until April? I assume it will be after the championship game. This delay is going to kill our recruiting and continue to be a huge distraction to the current players.

Sorry like to agree not close....he was standing right next to Melo and had the opportunity to box out...he was there didn't do it........by no means a knock on Andre as noone boxes out as I said........but he was there!!! Never got off his feet...........

He was because he was drifting over there from his guy after coming down. Watch the replay again. He is guarding Fair on the drive and Melo was Roscoe's responsibility. Fair goes up and Drummond contests it nicely but Roscoe leaves Melo wide open.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but watching it in person, it looked like he came down awkwardly on his second dunk of the game. The rest of the first half it looked like his vertical game was hindered. There were also a couple of plays where he didn't show as much lateral movement as he usually does.
