what kinda big man is able to do this .... :smh:

I see why the Clippers signed Paul Pierce, so he could pass the broken ankles torch to it's rightful successor, CP already showing that perfect leg buckling form all the washed up greats had at the end of their careers.:mjlol:


I think Dre is about a season away from real MVP considerations, I mean he's in the conversation right now but I think his game still needs refinement, he still rushes shots in the post or when double teamed, but in that Bulls game you can really see the finesse in his game, it's unreal how much he's improved in the post. Also I never realized half court shots was in his game too. I like how late in games Drumm wants to be the difference maker either on offense or defense, he wants to be great.

They're not good enough to produce an MVP candidate.
Drumm needs to follow the Derrick Rose blueprint to MVP success, granted he's a big man and not as flashy but he can put up those numbers and carry the a Pistons to the playoff (berth) he could get serious consideration.

I remember the criticism pre draft cause that was one terrible season he and Jeremy Lamb had in UConn. it was a bad situation.
I've followed the draft obsessively and scouted all the years the wizards were getting a high pick. We got Beal his year who I love, but before we moved up I wanted Drummond. Before we moved up on wall I wanted cousins. I tend to think big men are rarer. Proven wrong to a certain extents by the currys and Westbrook but if the wizards drafted like I wanted I wonder if they'd be better with a Drummond cousins front court or a wall beal backcourt.

This year I'm completely happy with the oubre pick..He's going to be an amazing two way player

He is, he better not pull a dwight:stopitslime:
This. It's crazy to think that but Dre is clearly on the verge of taking that next step and Stan Van will be in the same exact spot he was when Dwight became "elite", hopefully history won't repeat itself. Drumm doesn't seem like that type to have that Dwight drama. Dwight (prime Dwight) was mostly athleticism based, Drumm seems to be more set on using his skills so hopefully he's motivated to reach his potential unlike Dwight who was content on relying on his freaky athletism.

Just scratching the surface, scoring in the post for himself on hooks with both hands and even had some really nice passes out the post last night.
Stan even talked about it in the postgame, how he's a good passer and that Stan should probably use him more as a trigger of the offense. You can see how Stan is still tinkering with the offense to see how he can maximize everyone's abilities. Reggie is making better decisions out the pnr, KCP is handling the ball more and attacking more on offense instead of just being used as a 3 and d guy, and Morris is driving more. In the past 10 games the team had shown a tremendous improvement on the offensive side.

Yeah, KCP is starting to go off the dribble, he's always been praised for his defense but now he's starting to create a bit and Drummond is getting more and more comfortable on the block, that pass he had in OT where he hit I think KCP running baseline was something Dwight NEVER did. People keep comparing him to Dwight when the development of a back to the basket game means he'll be able to pass in the post, where as Dwight had a turn and face the rim game which just doesn't lend itself to passing much.


Your squad has a really bright future, especially when you consider Drum & KCP are 22, Morris is 26, Jackson is 25 and Stan is 19. Getting the bench worked out will be easy, if you could just get a upgrade at PF :merchant: on that note Serga Ibaka will be a free agent in 2017, he'd be a great fit.

The profit Stan Van leading the Pistons to the promise land. I don't know where he's gonna get the PF from but I know Stan sees that's where we need to improve. I can only dream about what Draymond would be able to bring to this team. 3 pt shooting, playmaking, elite post and perimeter d, and the ability to lead the break:banderas: Cleveland would probably be the only team definitively better.

But I'll let that go. Ibaka would be a nice fit with his d and range on his jumper. I'll have to keep an eye out for other players that can be a good fit.

The two PFs you were linked to all summer were Dray and Kristaps, either one of them would have been nightmare for the East.

Porzingis next to Drummond wouldn't have been fair.
