Comparing Drummond's athletic ability to Dwight Howard is an insult to Drummond. He' more like a 6-11 Lebron.

Also an insult to Drummond. Andre actually shows up in the 2nd half.

LeBron plays in the third quarter, and thats the second half. But seriously Drummond is like some Amare/Dwight/LeBron/Webber combo manchild thing. Once he has a more refined jump shot how does one guard him?

One won't.....Two or Three might have to

There I was contemplating life's great issues while spelling my name in the toilet (in cursive too) when I came up with a good comparison for raw athleticism. The dunk against Snooki U and the dunks tonight are not moves made in game by normal 6'10" 270 lbs 18 year olds.

He is similar in size, age and ability to Chocolate Thunder himself, Darryl Dawkins. Hopefully Andre continues to develop his talent in to superior basketball skills, but DD was the original freakishly athletic man-child.

Wilt the Stilt is still the greatest athlete to excel at center but he wasn't nearly as large this early in his career. He continued growing in to his 30's and 40's but was, relatively speaking, thin for as a teen.

It is surreal when you see a performance like AD had tonight and then remind yourself that he's still pretty raw. His talent and athleticism are a frightening combo.

Can we all agree that Drummond is a bust though?

No.

Well, technically he would have been a bust but he bought Kwame Brown's DVD set on how to be a really good center.

I really like how he responded to Jones' constant trash talking. best way way to shut him up.

Yeah Jones gave him a little pop and then flopped on the ensuing forearm in the post to draw a foul - then turned and taunted him after a put-back. Senior taunting a freshman would usually cause the freshman to come unglued. The opposite happened - Jones got punked down the stretch and was reduced to chucking contested threes. Scoreboard, bitch.

hes 18 years old,has no post moves and a low jumper. when this kid develops hes going to be beyond scary. i honestly think he should stay another year to develop his post game so he doesnt struggle as badlywhen he gets to the nba which is a tough way to learn how to play in the post.

i honestly think he should stay another year to develop his post game . . .

I honestly think he should stay another year because I'd f- love it, and nothing else.
