Drummond would look good in p&r situation, uconn should do this sequence more often.

I like UConn's guard play. Jeremy Lamb and Shabazz Napier seem to get in the paint with ease.

That was a nasty 3-pt shot from Napier followed up by a good pass on the break

Re: Official Raptors 2012 NBA Draft Thread, Part 2
I really REALLY wanted Drummond to be better than this but it's becoming a concern just how much he's struggling. I'm sure he's going to get it together as the season wears on but is his learning curve too steep to become an elite forward in the NBA?
Maybe it's too early to tell but he'll need to be dominating by the end of the season to convince me he will ever be able to take full advantage of his physical gifts in the NBA and become a star. He will be a player no doubt and likely very productive eventually in the NBA but I no longer feel any certainty in him reaching his ceiling and becoming a top five bigman. And with our likely high pick that's been the major disappointment this college season.

Why are you only judging him off one game? In the games UNC played in before today, most of Barnes FG's were not 3-pointers. He was actually creating the majority of his shots, whether he looked awkward doing it or not.
I've seen other games as well from this year and last year and what I've seen so far is that he's more hype than substance. He's a good player but at most he'd be a solid starter. I can see why he's compared a lot to Luol Deng. There very similar in their approach to the game. Now for our team we shouldn't be looking for a Deng type player we got to be looking for a game changer.
