I think we've already pretty much seen what Andre Drummond has to offer, he has no mid range or free throw game to speak of, I wish JV would realize how good his midrange is for a early 20s 7 footer. JV has way more potential as an all star than Drummond and everybody around the league knows it."Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed

Everyone around the league knows Drummond is an absolute beast and could be the next shaq. he is often rated as a top 3 young talent in the league.
Drummond was way more raw coming into the NBA which is why he dropped all the way to 9th. He will develop more, and is already contributing more than JV.
Not to say I don't like JV, but Drummond is an absolute manimal"Bruno?
Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

he is way more athletic than JV.
He's probably closer to a Howard in his prime than a shaq, but the point that is often made is that he has the potential to physically dominate every player he faces, much like those two guys did."Bruno?

Everyone talks championship or bust, but something like a third of the league has only ever won titles, and that was before the 30 team era. Don't get me wrong, I would love "titles" too, but I'm going to hold my breath. You need lot's of luck, and typically you need the first or second best player in the NBA on your team. Let's win some playoff rounds, let's get something going, let's enjoy basketball again.
Everybody's saying "heaven forbid we became the Denver Nuggets model", hell what if we got to that point and sustained it, or improved upon it. I would kill to have that kind of success, it's like a starving man passing up a hamburger while he waits for filet mignon.Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways
Because its 2015

He gets his points off offensive rebounds and drop offs not post moves not mid range jumpers and not at the line. so can you explain to me how did drummond come a long way, the way i see it is hes gotten expereince which has helped him have a better feel for the nba gameSunny ways my friends, sunny ways
