Drummond with 13 points/13 boards/2 blocks in a W against Raps tonight, he was also a difference maker defensively. Jonas V is more polished in the post but Drummond is just a hole different animal out there. They would look great paired together though.

"Coin toss" Ross is the reason they aren't.. Thank you Toronto. Drummond abused Jonas tonight too.

Drummond couldn't be kept off the glass. If he wasn't in the game the Pistons would have had a double digit loss.

Don't agree with that. Jonas was taking Drummond to school in the post and Drummond was getting easy buckets in the interior because of Bargnani's insistence on overhelping on the pick and roll that caused our entire defense to shift that got Drummond open.

awful rebuttal, but yeah, I guess it makes me feel better knowing the truth.
Val is like the complete opposite of Darko.
Looking for a new signature. Currently, still evaluating.

to be fair, Ridnour is 'guarding' him
He has been very impressive

To be "fair" he's done it against good defenders this season too. No need to downplay good play

Val is good. He has way better footwork that Drummond. Both will be studs. That being said, Drummond won the matchup tonight. Val drew one foul on Dre and had a nice turn around hook. Dre killed him on the boards and the rest of the game
Excited to see their matchups over the next 10+ years...and seeing them paired up in the All Star games
