No, No he wasn't. He was set to break Anthony Davis's shotblocking record. The players surrounding him were the disappointments (mainly ryan harrow, kyle wiltjer)
Yeah he was on pace to match or break that shot blocking record (Davis averaged .03 more per game), but his offensive game is just not that great. I have a tough time seeing him average double digit points consistently in the NBA.

Rebounds and blocks will be his game. Still, Drummond should turn out to be a better pro

People said the exact same shyt about Anthony Davis in the beginning of the year, we didn't get to see his full progression, he showed off more of his offense in the summer league, he was driving to the basket taking people off the dribble. Drummond had pretty awful offense at uconn too

i'm basically going off the lack of front court players philly has
they lost t.young & s.hawes (2 of they top 3 players) -as long as noel dosnt get hurt... he should eat well

The only stat drumms will have over noel is FG%
IMO everything else noel will either be equal or better
We'll see. :sas1:

Who said that about AD? They weren't paying attention then...he basically grew out of the SG position.

fukkING EVERYONE. Even going into the draft people said his offense sucked, go check his draft express scouting video, they talk about his lack of offense. He was a terrible jumpshooter at KY and basically scored only off lobs and dunks until the very end of the season when he was hitting jump hooks. He grew out of the PG position not SG

I don't remember people shytting on him this bad on offense :yeshrug:

Even if they were, he was WAY ahead of Noel at this point in their careers.

The point is we didn't get to see Noel at "that point in their career". Noel was injured the entire second half of the season. Davis only showed a glimpse of his offensive progression at the very end and in the NCAAT. he scored like 2 or 4 points in the national championship game. Davis was just as raw as Noel was halfway into the season, only thing Davis had over him was that he had better form on his jumpshot even though he missed almost all of his attempts (Noel never shot a jumpshot that I can remember). I watched him in Summer League, Noel's offense is much improved.



I thought drummond looked like shyt in college offensively but he got in the league and looked A LOT better

Drummond skill set is taylor made to make him a top five big. Freak athlete for his height and size, great motor, runs like a tall ass guard on the break, knows how to snatching boards and best positions to tip the ball in, etc. Anthony davis will be tier zero level talent wise on par with the durant and james of the league soon but drummond is already a poor man's dwight two years in the league averaging 14 and 13 with no plays ran for him with nearly 5 different head coaches in around 3 seasons since he got drafted. Now he has the coach that took dwight howard to the finals and has coached shaquille o'neal as well. Plus that season with coach sheed showing him how to beast on p*ssy ass post men is not going to be forgotten. I wish they would call up coulis Williamson and have him show dre his post hook and post moves too

SVG is calling plays for him in the post instead of the oops and hustle plays he was getting last year :manny:

He is getting some good looks but the shots aint falling. And he has gained some post moves and solid counters :manny:
