Andre Drummond, the next big thing

[MikelArteta]

I didn't say he wasn't talented.

He could be so much better.
Hit the gym work on those free throws, stop with the dumb ass fouls.

Far from lazy. People claiming he was lazy j's how he dropped and he could have stole rookie of the year if he didn't get hurt and they played him more last year. Dude essentially was a double double every game when he got enough minutes.

His basketball IQ should improve the more he gets to be around guys like sheed and billups. Hopefully gores finds a gm/coach that can at the very least mentor and help guide him because he is the key to the franchise

The next big thing has already arrived in Anthony Davis. Andre Drummond is the Kyrie Irving of big men he puts up decent numbers, does an incredible dunk/block here and there but he's not a difference maker. His defense is over rated and half the times he looks lost out there. I would take a guy like Big Cuz over him ten times over.

It's funny you say this and then big up Cousins as if he's made any sort of difference in SAC in twice the time that Andre's had.

I wonder if people realize that Andre is still not old enough to drink yet. He's got the tools. He's not a lazy guy. All he needs is a coach that you know...actually coaches and guys to actually give him the ball. Not to say that he's not raw in that regard but once again he's a 20 year old big man. He's gonna need time. Hakeem didn't come in the L dream shakin nikkas. If he puts the work in and has the right people around him it's gonna be :bernie mac voice: troubbbbbbbbbble :bernie mac voice:

What's the hate for? If they redid that draft davis is still first and lillard/drummond are fighting for second. All three are on route to be franchise talents.

No hate breh I'm just tired of all the Andre Drummond is the next big thing talk. He's nice but he's not elite maybe if he puts in a lot of hard work and I mean a lot he can reach that level but watching him right now I see nothing to suggest he will ever turn into a great big man.

Per king, keep waiting on him though while Anthony Davis morphes into the next Bill Russel.

i dont have a problem with Davis, kid is a beast, but to say Drum has no faculties whatsoever isnt right. He is going to be a handful in the paint.

It's no secret that Cousins biggest detriment is himself his team is losing because he continues to act like a baby. If he ever gets his head straightened out his team will start winning. Kyrie on the other hand has his head in the right place his problem is his one on one ball dominant style of play that takes away from the other guys on the floor.

How does that address what you said? I was under the impression you were saying you would take Cousins over Drummond on the basis of impact. Was I wrong?

 

[No..Money..Mo..Problems]

You just proved my point breh by posting a tomahawk dunk highlight to suggest how great Drummond is. News flash breh there's more to being a great big man than big dunks go ask Deandre Jordan.

Correct I would take Big Cuz over Drummond everyday of the week. Big Cuz has what it takes to be a great big man he just needs the right mentor/veteran coach who can keep him cool. Drummond has more holes in his game than swiss cheese. He has a Harden-esque motor, he has no post moves/mid range jumper, he's a terrible defender who gets mistaken for a good defender because of his occasional highlight blocks, he's got a meek personality and is non assertive and goes through the motions I can go on for days breh. Now don't get me wrong Big Cuz has a lot of problems to but he's shown that he can dominant teams with his inside game you just gotta manage him so he doesn't get to carried away.

All that is nice but for all of his dominance his SAC team goes 27-55 every year. Not trying to shyt on Cousins at all but you can't shyt on Drummond for putting up numbers but not having impact and then big up a dude who is clearly not having that great of an impact himself. If you wanna compare their games that is one thing but the impact piece has no place in a discussion regarding Cousins, if you are vouching for him that is.

gtfo with the hate. Like another nikka said cuz done been in the league for longer and already had a post game. Dre could have ended up no better then kwame brown but is using his skills to get better. Dude is 20 years old and could have been and should have been an all star this year in the east if they hadn't dropped the center position from votes. U just said the same thing about cousins we've said about dre...give him a good coach and let him get his head focused on the game and watch out. You act like dre is j Hickson or something

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

Average 13 and 13 , be second in the league in double doubles at 20 and be called lazy and non assertive brehs.

I don't think we on the same page breh. The center/PF positions are washed up and being an above average center/ PF in today's league is like saying you got a decent house on a bad neighborhood. When you make a thread titled Drummond the next big thing your not comparing Drummond to Kwame or the current crop of scrub centers your comparing him to some of the best big men that played the game over the years. And all I'm saying is he has shown nothing to suggest he will ever be one of those great big men. Guys like Anthony Davis, and Big Cuz are much more polished and have a better chance of getting to that next level than Drummond does. Remember even Roy Hibbert's big ass looked decent at one point and showed some potential and we all saw what happened to that nikka. .
