Anthony Davis vs Andre Drummond....which big would you rather build around?

[Da_Eggman]

Ii see this as Dwight Howard vs KG

I think that's what both players ceilings will be

 

[Propaganda]

A player like Davis comes around every few years. Rail thin, shot blocker, great athletic PF, with good mid range J. A 6ft11 280lb legit athletic freak at C with great hands and touch is rare. Drummond has potential to be better than Dwight. If they both stay healthy, Im taking Drummond.

no, no, no. players that are SUPPOSED to be like davis come around like that. but none of those jonathan bender ass muhfukkas were ever playing as well as unibrow was this year.

Drummond gonna be better than Dwight.

And Davis will be an MVP one day.

It's hard to call it. I think it depends on what you're looking for in a big. If you want a traditional bruiser that you can surround with shooters and role players, take Drummond. If you want a guy who can be dynamic and the leader of your offence, while also giving you a lot on defense, take Anthoy Davis.

And while we praise unibrow's defense, Drummond is right there behind him in that domain--dude is a fukking presence in the paint, even if his shot-blocking instincts aren't incredible.

I would love to have either but I just think Drummond is gonna be more physically dominate when his brain catches up with his body.. .. Anthony can come out and guard 3's and stretch the floor more on offense.. Andre's style would wear you down more in a 7 game series..Can't go wrong with either one..

Just realized both of their initials are AD...

Illuminati

Brandon Jennings is the best thing to happen to Drummond. Dude has a knack for finding him

 

[manyfaces]

What's funny in the debate though is how they look, just a glance you'd think Drummond was 25 or older, yet Davis is the older one of the two.

Exactly. People talking about wait till Anthony Davis discovers the weight room and grows into his body are forgetting that you have to apply that same logic to Drummond as well. Bam-Bam still gets to grow up,and that's a scary sight !

 

[toooldforthisship]

Anthony Davis and it's not even close tbh.

 

[Da_Eggman]

So you think drummond wont be better than dwight??

i really don't think so

Dwight gets mad hate around here but lets not act like he wasn't a dominant force for years and the pistons would be very happy to have Drummond preform at Dwight level for the next ten years and eventually avg 20 ppg 14 rpg

thou he can still be better i don't see him being on a Shag level

 

[Broad Street Bully]

Well Detroit is my squad, so ofc I gotta say Drummond. Plus the fact that he's milkin Sam from ICarly's guts makes it all the more right.

FALSE


If Drummond can't shoot FT's, he will not be a good shooter from anywhere outside the paint. WE know that, that' should be facts.

Now lets break down the rest of the game

1. back to basket post moves - NO
2. go to move - NO
3. Advanced dribbling to get around when facing up - above average (i'm giving him a bit more credit)
4. Athleticism - Yes
5. Girth/strength - Yes
6. Age - positive
7. Help side defense - Good/Great


At teh end of the day, he's a good prospect but his ceiling is Dwight not his floor - his floor is closer to Deandre Jordan - great efficiency scoring because he's only scoring on LOBS and put backs.

Big men don't develop over night to great players - most of them come to the NBA with similar skillset they leave with. You don't develop a post game over night, you don't develop great shooting over night (although you can develop certain positions on the floor where you're comfortable shooting at aka set shots).

I don't see anythign but a mass of athleticism and girth, which has people salivating.

wrong. he's already better than Deandre Jordan and right behind Tyson Chandler once he learns the game a bit more He'll be better than both surely before he even hits his prime.

false. bigs tend to develop more offensively than other respective positions.

1. I said his floor, you do know what that means right? And I also said why, because he's scoring on easy putbacks, lobs, and garbage points.
2. Big men do not tend to develop more offensively once they get in the league - please point me to these big men who came in a developed offensively. In general, we have some garbage offensive big men because of the lack of fundamentals being taught in highschool and college.

had to quote you again, because while I respect Chandlers game and his moxie on the court, low key he's not leaps and bounds ahead of Deandre Jordan statistically speaking - so I really think you need to chck yourself.
