Not if Moses and Rodman have anything to say about it…

I remember Reggie Evans had one skill only and his teams treated him better than Drummond’s.

I can't believe he was making 27 million dollars one season ago.

He's actually not far off. Minutes in recent seasons might be what hinders him being looked at that way, but if you are looking at career RB%, Drummond has been VERY good.

He’s pretty far off.

Are Melo and Alex English two of the greatest scorers ever?

I gotta get some of what he’s having

by very good you mean #1 all-time right?


i did the full calculations a while ago but even with players like wilt and bill russell, drummond's rebound % bests theirs. iirc theirs was about 21% which would put them on par with guys like dwight howard and deandre jordan, still good for top 10 all-time.

people see the outrageous rebounding numbers from the past but don't consider that in 1961 (the year wilt averaged the most boards in his career), teams averaged 73.5 rebounds a game. this past season teams averaged 44.5. that's 40% less than back in the day. wilt also averaged like 46 minutes a game so there were like 140+ rebounds to get when he was on the floor, whereas drummond topped out at 34 so he only had like 62 boards available to him when he was on the court.

Drummond has a hard time getting 20 min a game and he isn’t even 30 yet. His game hasn’t aged well at all.

dosnt he miss like half his layups? I imagine that boosts his o rebounds

Wilt Chamberlain and Dennis Rodman are the best rebounders ever

Wilt averaged 55 rebounds a game in a season

It's really not that crazy at all. His per game, per 36, per 100 averages are all better than Rodman's for his career, TRB% too, but Rodman's peak was better. I think people are too caught up on Drummond as a player overall; you can't deny he's one of the all time great rebounders though.

What?

best rebounder ever that doesn't box out

I guess. Gerald Green is also one of the greatest dunkers ever too.

If he boxed out then that would mean that teammates would sometimes grab His rebounds. Ask Bruce Brown what flavor Drummond's elbow is. He would be able to answer that.

Paraphrasing famous words from Andrea Bargnani: we're not playing reboundball
