Drummond's expanding game -
The move at 1:15 is really advanced....
He had a nice up and under vs the Cavs as well.
This is why when people ask me "How could you like Drummond but not Dwight", easy look at the video and notice that he's sealing and using a jump hook off a two footed plant. The development of his post game is centered around back to the basket game and a hook shot off two feet, whereas almost everything Dwight does in the post is with him first turning to face the rim. A turn and face the post game is great, if you're Hakeem or Ewing and have a baseline jumper to keep people guessing, but he doesn't have that at all so it's kind of odd that he developed that kind of game.
When you develop a hook shot off two feet everything else can fall into place, that's when the moves and counters start coming into play. It's when Up and Unders, step throughs, counters etc. actually start to serve a purpose. Also, in regards to Drummond, of all the young centers he's the only one that reminds me of what Shaq used to be able to do, which is seal someone, body them and turn around and just hawk it on them like this -
He has a ton of potential and being 6'11" 280-290lbs is why I have him above Vucci.
