Andre Drummond

[Rick Ronnie Coleman]

E ai o cara é bom?

[Roberto]

Realmente ansioso para ver esse cara na NBA, show de bola.

[Roberto]

Alias, quem será a primeira escolha do draft?

- Andre Drummond
- Harrison Barnes
- Anthony Davis

É claro que temos que esperar a NCCA começar, mas esses três são os mais cotados né? sempre escutei mais esses três nomes, não sei se tem mais algum jogador tão bem cotado como esses três.

Dos três eu curti mais o Barnes.

[evanhenrique]

Me impressiona, além de todos os atributos físicos, a mobilidade dele, levando em consideração a altura. Ball-handling, hustle. Lembra o Amare, talvez até melhor.

Dependendo de como vai ser minha volta às quadras ano que vem, pode me incluir nessa lista aí! hahahah

Eu aposto no Davis

Gostaria de ver o Anthony Davis jogando ao lado do Dwight Howard em Orlando, ou o André Drummond no caso do D12 abandonar o barco mesmo!

We're hearing from numerous sources that UConn bigman Andre Drummond is leaning heavily toward returning for a second season at UConn.

Andre DrummondAndre DrummondThe story was first reported by Adam Zagoria of zagsblog.com on January 7th who quoted Drummond. And while things could change, those close to the situation say Drummond has bought into what Coach Jim Calhoun is preaching and likes the "Blake Griffin plan" of two years of college development, despite being a virtual top 3 lock and potential top overall pick.

It's unusual for players to make decisions and announcements on entering the draft or returning before a season's end, and those reports are usually taken with a grain of salt, since players prefer to have that info come out on their "timeline".

A player who is forced to make a statement on their draft decision, while there are still games to be played, should always say they will return, because saying the alternative just puts added pressure on them.

There have been numerous cases of players that have announced they would return to school only to change their minds when the time came.

But this report is gaining a lot of legs as those close to the team and with knowledge of the situation are saying it is a near lock that he will return to Storrs. At least at this point in time.

We feel that this would be a tremendous decision for his future as a second season at UConn will do wonders in developing Drummond's skill set, confidence and long term potential for the NBA level. Allowing him to hit the ground running and not have to battle through a couple seasons of catching up to the NBA game and regaining confidence.

He's learning under the premiere talent developer in Jim Calhoun who turned players such as Marcus Williams and Hilton Armstrong into first rounders and Hasheem Thabeet into the 2nd overall pick.

Watching Drummond play this year has been an emotional roller coaster. At times he flashes the immense potential he possesses as a new age center who can run the floor like a deer and overpower opponents with jaw dropping athleticism and strength around the rim. But often times it can be frustrating as the young bigman has no idea how to position himself for rebounds. He also shies away from contact and doesn't utilize his great strength inside.

He also doesn't appear to have any idea of how good he is and his teammates have yet to develop complete trust in him. They often overlook him when he establishes quality position inside. And it's not as if the bigman is a black hole, more often than not when defended well, Drummond will find an open man and even create baskets for teammates with his excellent vision.

Speaking with NBA scouts, Drummond would stand an excellent chance of being the top pick in this year's draft, as he's considered the player with the most upside in all of college basketball. Anthony Davis is considered by many as the odds on favorite to be the top pick, and Drummond waiting a year certainly makes that much more likely.

Drummond has moved from the top spot in 2012 to the top spot in 2013.

Sucumbiu ao hype.

[ocubo]

Foi só para polemizar...

Ainda acho que ele tem um bom futuro. Tem muito potencial. Mas ele não fez a temporada que se esperava para um possível 1st pick.

E na derrota no MM fez apenas 2 pontos e saiu por faltas.

Malucao promete

já ta cotado como first pick em 2013

Realmente isso é verdade. Mas tem incontáveis exemplos de jogadores que tiveram este tipo de trajetória.

Gay foi um dos recentes que lembro que foi duramente criticado na época do March Madness, e olha só onde ele está hoje.

Penso que é perfeitamente normal estes caras oscilarem brutalmente de um jogo pro outro, pq se trata de moleques de 18, 19 anos. É necessário a gente ajustar as expectativas da nossa parte tb, os caras não são robôs.

Duro que ele é chamado de Gay até hoje =/
