Drummond

[superjohn]

Pistons with two big wins the past two nights to get them back in the 6 seed and Drummond is beasting. 18 (9-10 fg) 18 rbs, 6 blocks, 4 assists last night and this tonight...

Did he mention @Chief00 ?

 

[awfuldan]

Wow, what a stat line. Flirting with a 5x5.

If Blake can stay healthy and Detroit can add a piece or two, that Clippers trade might have worked out for both sides.

Those glasses tho #onpoint

Also, look where he is on the all-time rebound list – who he's recently passed, and who he'll likely pass before this season's over:

He's 25. 25!!!

If he stays healthy and keeps rebounding at this rate through his age 30 season, he'll have ~13,500 career rebounds. Top 15 all-time, a very good chance at ending up third all-time, and a decent chance of becoming just the third player in NBA history (Wilt & Russ) with 20,000+ rebounds.

Best part, though, is that for the past 3 months he's been so much more than just a rebounder/put-back machine. He's a defensive force out there, and has been an efficient offensive player as well.

And he's just 25!!!!

Very good chance he will end up the best rebounder of all-time. Maybe not by the numbers, but when eras are compared, he has a strong argument. He currently has a 24.34 rebound percentage, which is almost a full percentage point more than Rodman who’s second all time.

Agree, very proud of Dre and happy for his fam.

I laughed at how many teams passed on him on draft night. For guys who couldn’t dream of having his upside.

 

[Huskyforlife]

He'll be perpetually underrated on the Pistons. Maybe one day him and kemba will move somewhere people will recognize them.

Now Blake has missed three games in a row and the Pistons are dangerously close to missing the playoffs. Drummond had 28 pts. (11-16) shooting 19 rebs. and they still got blown out by the Pacers.

 

[Palatine]

100 rebounds is six games for AD.

A lot of teams lose to the Pacers

I feel like Blake maybe should nut up and play, if they miss the playoffs that’s a huge letdown

Great player, bad team - is such a curse in the NBA. Dre is such a great guy, perhaps Calhoun needs to talk to him about his future and legacy. Dre kind of lives in the present and would benefit from such a discussion.

 

[Walker11]

He was getting so much hate from the smart corner of NBA journalists and now his name is popping up as a All NBA candidate. Nice to see the public perception changing.

Is he really an all-NBA candidate? I have not paid as much attention to the NBA this years as I have in the past, but I find it hard to believe he has any legitimate case as being better than Embiid, Jokic, Towns, or Gobert. I suppose I may just be contesting semantics though.

He's probably in a race with Gobert for the third team. Towns has had a really good second half of the season, but his team's the worst of the bunch, he gets dominated head-to-head by these guys (including 'Dre), and he remains a very bad defender.

Would Dre change the perception of Charlotte???

 

[HuskyFich]

Yeah...if Steph Curry came with him


Charlotte needs a big and another guy who can score off the dribble. Mainly another guy who can score off the dribble.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Yeah...if Steph Curry came with him

Kemba
Curry
Lamb
Big Frank
Dre

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Like @Matrim55 said, KAT has been great the second half of the year, but so has Andre. Andre’s eye test defense might not be outstanding, but his stats, ex; steals and blocks, as well as his advanced defensive stats are nothing short of amazing.Him and Gobert will be fighting for 3rd team IMO

 

[Palatine]

Meanwhile Kemba has gone for 47 and 32 in the last couple of outings.

You are exactly right. Lowe, for instance, said that Drummond is clearly not a serious candidate but he had been so good recently that good name should at least be mentioned.

Just my opinion, and I don’t know contract and salary cap details, but I would think if (and that’s a big If) they played together it would be on the Knicks.

 

[HuskyFich]

Kemba
Curry
Lamb
Big Frank
Dre

I think big Frank has averaged negative minutes most of the year...lol
