Bouknight had surgery and is out for the foreseeable future.

Thanks. Just checked the roster and saw him

Who had "Andre Drummond gets a strip, takes it coast to coast, breaks a guy's ankles, and lays it in" on their bingo card?

 

[Poe]

Andre seemed to put in a lot of work in the off-season and it looks like he dropped some weight and is in better shape. Hopefully it all pays off this season and when his next contract comes around.

He joined the league at exactly the wrong time. If he was drafted in 199, he'd have been an all-star. His athleticism at his size is ridiculous.

Hawkins got 9 minutes tonight. 4-5 minutes to start each of the 2nd and 4th quarters. Went 1/2 from 3, 2 assists, no turnovers. Couple fouls, mostly in help. Had a high +/- +14, 3rd on the team.

Looked like a solid rotation piece to me. Played team d well too.

drummond is actually a 2 time all star, believe it or not

drummond is actually a 2 time all star, believe it or not

Statistically he’s one of, if not the best rebounders of all time. A full percentage point higher than Rodman in 2nd for highest rebound rate ever. He’s also about 6’9 (Per himself), so not like some behemoth.

Like @husky429 said, it’s a shame this is the time he played.

Crazy that he just turned 30, too.

Believe it or not he’s been stripping guys for awhile.



His perimeter defense was always a very hidden skill of his.

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Andre could’ve been good in this era too. He’s just a goofball. (I say this in a loving manner because he’s a good person. Just never seemed to take things seriously)

No reason he couldn’t have been Bam Adebyo. There’s plenty of good centers who can’t shoot. It’s always been a motor and focus issue for him though.

Big couple of days for him. Hornets need to make a decision about picking up his 4th year option by the 31st I believe? I would think they probably won't pick it up

I would be shocked if they do

 

[aceboon]

Drummond would be in the right era if he played winning basketball, not every center has a 3 point shot

Exactly, whenever Drummond's name comes up people always excuse his career as being in the wrong era, not every center plays like KAT, you can still be a productive and starting C in the league without bombing 3s all game.

If they do someone needs their head examined

And KAT is not consistently good because he wants to be a guard and not a big.

Knowing how to work the paint is necessary. The 3 is a luxury.

 

[aceboon]

Hopefully the Bucks blow out the Sixers so AJ gets some run

 

[Huskyforlife]

Drummonds defense is really why he couldn’t start at center for a contending team.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Believe it or not he’s been stripping guys for awhile...

He and Howard both.

 

[auror]

Yeah Andre no minutes in the first half of his first game. Despite a good summer league and preseason, doesn't seem like he is in the Bucks full strength 10-man rotation. Too many veterans on the bench. He'll have to wait for blowouts, rest games, and injuries.

Looking excited on the bench though.
