Andre Drummond, Freshman, 7-0, C, UConn

Where he probably will be picked: 5-10

Where he should be picked: 15-25

While most NBA players buy their mother a house or a car after getting their first paycheck, Drummond’s first order of business should be to buy a bouquet of flowers for DeAndre Jordan. Drummond has the build of a prototype NBA center but is severely lacking in his mechanics and has terrible hands. Executives see his size and salivate about what he could become if he learns to better understand the game and strengthens his fundamentals. The real question is whether he has the desire or capability to reach that level.

The real danger of using a high pick to select a guy like Drummond, given the history of “prototype” centers like Jordan, Kwame Brown and Darko Milicic, is not on their rookie contract. Drummond surely will be given a free pass to have his third and fourth years picked up due to his combination of size and youth. All he needs to do thereafter is look alive for half a season, and teams will be lining up to offer him a contract averaging eight figures, hoping that potential will start to show. This is a guy who has the potential to be not only a poor selection, but also a long-term cap killer.

that 2nd paragraph was one of my main concerns, voiced earlier in the thread. drummond is the kind of guy that will get a pass for the 1st four years of his contract and still get a massive offer for his 2nd contract, that could potentially cripple a franchise if he doesnt live up to the contract.

I still think #2 for #6 and #11 is fair for everybody.

I would love that, and use the 11th on Moe Harkless.

Drummond at 6 and Harkless at 11? Oh my god yes

Drummond does not have terrible hands. Ridiculous.
