Drummond's finish tonight

[TXHuskyFan]

In the running for #1 play on sportscenter tonight. Probably won't win, but not a lot going on in the sports world this Tuesday night.

And at the other end of the court after this play, Drummond had a big block on 2011 #6 pick Jan Vesely. The Will Bynum-Andre Drummond ally-oop connection has been awesome since the two of them have been together. I'm glad the Pistons resigned Bynum just for that reason.

Also, watching Drummond play a lot, the kid is going to lead the league in rebounding multiple times in his career. He's a monster on the boards. I'm not sure if his offensive game will ever be refined much more than dunks, put-backs, alley-oops, and the occasional baby hook... but he's going to develop into one of the better players in the league just because of his sheer dominance on the glass and on defense.

And if you look at Dwight, who never really developed a true post game and is still this generation's best center, it just goes to show that Andre can truly be one of the most impactful players in the league. He's got all the tools to be a bigger, more athletic Dwight Howard without the scoring mentality, but also without the headache. He's one of the most fun, likeable players in the NBA and I'm glad that he'll be associated with UConn, even if he was only here for one year.

He'll be a staple on top plays for a long time

Play was pretty routine (could be because he's so tall) but you're right must not be much going on.

Agreed. He makes it look easy so that's why it looks very routine. He definitely belongs in the NBA... can't question his decision to leave.

Andre will have A LOT more impressive highlights than this one. So stoked for how this kid will represent our state and university going forward

were does the myth come from that dwight has no post game? i'm almost 100% sure he's been in the top 3 in post points per game the last 3-4 years or so. that said, drummonds a beast and will be the best big in the league at some point. which in turn should help recruiting. but like someone mentioned above, he will be a great ambassador of uconn for many years to come, just a very likeable guy

Dwight has a very rudimentary post game relative to Duncan, Gasol, Ewing, Hakeem, Shaq, Yao, etc. it's not that he can't score in the post, but more so he has very limited moves down there.

Due to what must be a sick mind, I assumed that this post involved Jennette McCurdy.

They split! Difficult choice for Drummond! Attend the event honoring JC or go to Jennette's mothers funeral. Drummond bleeds Husky Blue!

Compared to Howard, yes. Duncan had a fairly solid set before he became Father Time.
