Andre Drummond Highlights - University of Connecticut <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fxzatwVFwnk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <HR> Drummond highlight reel from high school
I thought the same thing about Demarcus Cousins after 8-9 games. Give him the whole year to see how much he develops. All it takes is for NBA scouts think he has potential and Drummond is automatically top 5.
Guy seems like a sure thing, allstar. Looks like a mix of DH and Stat, This is who we should tank for, or gut the team for.
The fact that Thabeet gave him fits this summer makes me nervous, but that size and leaping ability at that age is impressive. Don't know much about his post game (right now we're just seeing DeAndre Jordan-like alleyoops), but I'm guessing it needs a lot of work. Tons of potential here though. Nice job, batkins... thank you!
I expect that he is close to a lock to go in the top 5. He has all the requisite physical skills scouts look for, wide base, good frame, smooth movement, good athleticism and leaping ability. Still, I dont think he is as explosive as guys like Amare, Griffin or Kemp. Certainly a good enough athlete, but I dont see the quickness off the ground to get by without a more refined game.
Well in his defense, his a lot bigger then those guys (currently 6'11 / 7'5 wingspan/ 9'4 standing reach). Come draft day he'll most likely be over 7'0, given his currently 6'11, and just turned 18 a few months ago.
He actually has a ok post game and mid range jumper. Here's a better look at him: <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mXB6vc5Z_A4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> ... definitely no thabeet or DeAndre J.
I see him as the best prospect since Blake Griffin. I would be ecstatic if he ended up on our team some how.
I don't like this guy. Putting my foot in the sand as a hater right now. Amare and Chris Webber are/were not franchise players. Good 3rd best player on a championship team, OK second banana, but not superstar.
Some of you guys crack me up! I'd trade anyone on this team or half our team for this guy. He's a stud and is goin to be an all star in the NBA. Hope we have a shot at getting him.
This is insane! In whatever order, Anthony Davis and Drummond will go 1, 2 in next year's draft guaranteed. Book it. Everybody please look at this video.
Any big man that can move laterally, is semi-athletic, and has great court vision will succeed in the NBA. Hopefully he grows to a full 7 foot, the Rockets draft him, and we become a force in the West!
For an analysis of his game see nbadraft.net. Simply a stunning prospect though. Doesn't get much better as a prospect unless your name is Blake.
