Live score is the best way to follow this game, no solid streams and the game itself is meh.

Who do you think has higher ceilings, VAL or Drummond? I think most of you will agree VAL has higher floor, right?
I am just asking, cause Drummon is very intriguing prospect to me.

It's definitely Drummond in my book. He's got Dwight-like physical dimensions but is more mobile on the perimeter. He could definitely thrive in the NBA on dunks and rebounds, but I don't know how likely he is to reach that potential. The 29% FT seems frightening, but I don't think he was ever that low in high school. He's definitely a guy I hope someone else takes.

Jonas with few McGee'ish blocks in the third. Nice. Efficient as usual, 5 shots, 12 points.

If Drummond fell to us I would take him in an instant. I love Lamb and Beal as much as the next nut hugger but you can't pass on a future frontcourt of Val and Drummond. If it panned out we would be a top team in the east for years to come. If not we can trade him for a wing potentially better wing then what Beal or Lamb will ever be. He soo damn young too. After his rookie contract dude would still be in his early 20's. A monster like him will always have tons of value especially at a young age. People still wanted to go after Oden even after all the crap with his knee. It's not as high risk as some of you are make it out to be.

The really classic centers like Oden and Cousins showed much, much more in their freshman seasons than Drummond. Cousins was questionned for his temper, but not his motor. That's what's worrying about Drummond. Does he have a work ethic? Sometimes what you see is what you get. One of the first things scouts want to know, is a kid playing because he loves to play, or because it's meal ticket. That's not going to change at the next level. So it's an area I would expect requires a great deal of due diligence in Drummond's case.

Another day in office for Jonas.

20 mins, 14 pts (4/5 FG, 6/8 FT), 10 rebounds.

Drummond scares me, but his potential is obviously still enormous. He has a good skillset, is coordinated and enormous. He doesn't even seem dumb or anything. I think he has a huge work ethic problem, and looks very tentative on the offensive end -- it doesn't help that he was on a team with a bunch of gunners at the guard position.

Val with 14/10 in 20 minutes.

the boxscore is all wrong again Jonas has 0 blocks, i saw him making 2 monster blocks.

trenekas · Post #1414 » by **trenekas** » Fri Mar 30, 2012 6:00 pm

In that boxscore steals and rebounds are mixed sites

They're probably just as stingy with blocks as they are with assists over in Europe. Maybe it only counts as an official block if the player getting stuffed starts to cry.
