Drummond v. Defending Champs

[61cygni]

21 and 10 through 3 quarters on 8-11 shooting, hitting a respectable percent of his FTs. Can't wait to see this guy go beast mode for years to come. Will be great to see him hopefully logging 30+ min per game this season.

Miami doesn't have anyone to match his size & strength inside...

Most NBA teams don't

 

[61cygni]

And the ones who can match size/strength likely lack his speed/athleticism.

I think the only thing that could stop him from becoming elite is if he has health issues. He definitely seems to have a better attitude towards the game as an NBAer

Now if Detroit could only get themselves a respectable backcourt to compliment their great young front court. Jennings is supposedly going to try to become more of a true point guard and look to distribution more and ball-hog less....but I will believe that when I see it.

Getting paid in millions of dollars rather than scholarship funds can have that effect

Leopard | Spots

They don't change.

The 2 guard spot is abysmal, rodney stuckey is out for a while after slamming his thumb in a car door... Seriously . their high draft pick KCP just needs to be a consistent spot up guy, that'll be helpful. dre needs to improve his ft shooting

So can growing more mature and gaining life experience. He played the equivalent of two UConn seasons as a pro counting the summer and 60 regular season games played. Always seemed to be a great kid. College is a time to have fun; now he's working at his job.

He's up to 67 percent this preseason!

(Note: above fact may be due to small sample size)

Yeah everyone says he's such a nice guy. My girlfriend was waittressing at the Fridays in Manchseter while he was there, and she met him, Lamb, and Scoe. She said Drummond was the only one who was like overtly friendly nice and normal. The others weren't dicks, and if I met a stranger I wouldn't be overtly talkative, so Drummond seems like he will be a real name in the future. Everyone wishes him the best, its so great to see pro athletes who arent scumbags

Actually Drummond was a walk-on
Maybe that's why he wasn't a superstar at UConn
or was itthe fact that he was 18 years old.

His tude was fine in college. I broke it down previously very disruptive season with JC and Boatshow in and out of lineup for various reasons.

There was zero wrong with his attitude at UConn.

Andre's attitude has always been great. He's just one big, positive kid, well, and now a man! He's always happy, always has nice things to say. Hard to say anything bad about Andre. I'm happy he's been finding success in the NBA. He's doing things right. I'm a big supporter of his.

Even the horrid Pistons spacing is better than spacing in college for any athletic big if solely because of the zone rules.

Edit: not sure why it quoted you. But I'm too lazy to fix it.
