This article here says that Drummond is up to 6-11 285 pounds, I find it hard to believe and I mean isn’t that a bit to much?
Dwight Howard is listed at 6-11 265 and he has arguably the best body in the NBA.
Drummond doesn’t seem to have any fat on him so if he continues to put on weight he might get slowed down by his own muscle mass, somewhat like LeBron is now.
What do you guys think?

Im wondering how accurate this source is listing him at 285 lbs, because Drummond sure doesnt look like he weighs close to that. He has a body type that reminds me of Tyson Chandler, who NBA.com lists at 235lbs and I find it very hard to believe from pics and videos i’ve seen of drummond that he weighs 50lbs more than Chandler. I would speculate he weighs inbetween the 230-250 lbs range, because he does not have super defined musclature or very broad shoulders. I guess well find out his true weight at predraft weigh-ins.

actually all last season i was hearing he is 6’11 275 so there is no surprise if he is 285 now..but in the same way i have heard this summer he lost some pounds and is in the rango of 260 270…

as for Dwight he is listed 6’11 265 since his 3rd season when he got bigger and now he is definitely around 280

i don´t think he is at 285. i think he looks like 250 which i think is ideal for a high school player at 6-11. 285 really would be to much i think. i just hope he does not make the same mistake as greg oden! oden wanted to look like shaq and got up to 285 after his first injury and it was to much for him….

He was listed at 251lbs last year and I’d be interested to compare him to say Sullinger who is around 280lbs and Cousins who weighed 292lbs at the draft camp last year.
Players listed weights will vary and I’d agree that Chandler is probably more than 235lbs now.

I saw Drummond last week and i would say his body looks less like chandlers and more like if stoudamire had another growth spirt. this kid looks huge but also looks like he could pack on another 20 lbs comfortably. his arms are super long, his hands are huge, his shoulders are broad, and his waist is where his belly button should be. this kid is still growing! i dont know about 285 but with joints that big i wouldnt be surprised if he grows ANOTHER inch or two and reaches 290 by the time he gets to the league.

Most of the listed weight for NBA players is when they first come into the league. So how much a guy weighs at 19 definitely differs when he is 29. Cause there is no way Shaq is less than 400 pounds.

People have different bone structures which allows them to carry weight differently. Dwight Howard is 265lbs, but has a slender physique and not a big bone structure. Drummond looks like a guy with a slightly larger natural bone structure, but not by a lot. If he’s 285lbs right now then he’s either bulky or is over 10% body fat.

He’s 250 max. He was around 250 at the last tournament he was at last week so i highly doubt he has gained 35 pounds. He is also measured at 6’10

they weighed him like a professional wrestler…WWE and WCW would always add on a good 20 pounds or so to make wrestlers seem more intimidating

They’re still using Tyson Chandlers rookie weight of 235. Lebron’s last year in Cleveland a trainer said he weighed in at 274 pounds in training camp. And I think Dwight may be 265 all muscle, since he was 240 pounds when he was a rookie. He’s definitely bigger but he doesn’t look around 280, that’s where Bynum is and for Drummond I’d wait until he goes to a skills camp or a pre draft camp and gets an official weigh in.
