By the way, the season has been a disappointment on so many fronts, that Dre's most damning flaw has gotten a bit lost in the shuffle. His free throw shooting. It looked to be a bit improved early in the season, but then unraveled. It's now worse than ever.
Since the all-star break, Dre is 18-for-83 from the stripe. 21.6%

The sad part is that despite this recent run he's still shooting better on the season than his career average.
It's quite clear that Drummond is not a franchise corner stone. Time to move on.

He needs something to go right for him and then he really gets it rolling. His effort is a like a streaky jumpshooter. When its on, he's dominant. When it's off, it's ugly. I think it's really hurt him that RJ has struggled so bad. Those easy alley oops he got off pick and roll got Dre going. When he gets a couple dunks, then suddenly he's making defensive plays and eating space on both ends. Instead, we're giving him back to the basket touches. He shoots a low percentage and then just jogs back with his head down.
On the plus side, if RJ returns to form or we get a true #1 option on offense, Dre will get some easy looks again.
Spot on, that's why he supposedly "slipped" to #9. His offensive game is slightly more advance than Deandre Jordan, but wants to be involved like prime Dwight Howard. But leaving him as a strictly lob option is under utilizing his "potential."
When we got RJ at the deadline, I think him and Drummond ran the most pick and rolls in the league (maybe it was converted). Teams and coaches have obviously game planned for that, it's on Stan to switch it up and get more creative where everything isn't super predictable.
