Vucevic or Drummond?

They both rebound at the same clip but Vucevic is a much more polished offensive player, were as Drummond is still raw. Drummond only scores off rebounds or drop off passes. Plus Vucevic is a below the rim player (did posterize Gasol last night) that is only getting better.

 i’ll take vucevic. you can actually give him the the ball and he can do something with it, from different spots on the floor too unlike drummond who’s just an uber athletic garbageman. you can post nik up on either block. he can turn over either shoulder, use either hand. he can face up from mid. you can roll or pop with him. whereas with drummond he has no moves and he looks like he lacks the coordination, feel for the game and touch to ever be a player you dump the ball to and run action off of him.  you don’t have to sit nik down the stretch of games either because he makes his FTs. neither are good defensively so you’d have to flank either with someone who can make up for their defensive ineptitude, but i’ll take the C who’s at least good one end of the floor.

Vucevic is definitely better now and has a better feel for the game, but Drummond is a potentially elite roll man who may be even more dominant as a rebounder in his prime than Vucevic.  And I think Drummond has more room to improve as a defender, although Vucevic is the better defender at the moment.  Drummond is three years younger than Vucevic, too, so in three years I could see Drummond being much improved.

Drummond will be more expensive to extend than Vucevic was, though, due to his Vucevic being somewhat underrated league-wide and Drummond hitting FA later, closer to the 2016 cap rise.  But I do think Drummond is more valuable, especially since he doesn’t really need plays run for him to make an impact.  You can run your offense through other players and Drummond can still produce off of cuts and offensive rebounds.  He struggled terribly early in the season, but that is because he was forced to create for himself.

Drummond still learning the game but will always be a double double machine. He  will continue to improve once they continue to improve the spacing.

 Drummond is overrated but his upside is out of this world. Valanciunas just torched him for 31-points which is likely a career high and kept Drummond under 50% shooting.

 Vucevic is no where near the defensive presence Drummond is. Dre is also 3 years younger. I think Nikola has pretty much reached his ceiling while Drummond can be an All-Star as soon as next year.

Vucevic. It’s a rarity to have a skillset like that at 7’0” 260. He’s extremely talented, and is everything that the Nets wish Brook Lopez would be

 I can’t decide, both are very good.  It might depend on the other players on the team, for which fits best.  Drummond and Vucevic on the same team, they would be good.

One guy you foul and he misses free throws, so Drummond has that negative.  Vucevic can score more, Drummond can shot block and rebound more.

That PER stat, Vucevic is just ahead.  If it was for a fantasy team, Vucevic is the pick if the league has free throw percentage.  Right now, I pick Drummond.  He can have 20-rebound games and shoot 60% from the floor, although in the NBA both will be called "max contract players" as there are few quality bigs around.

 Drummond not even close. When you have a 21 year old kid who can do things that about 2-4 other NBA players can match up with you have a special talent. Drummond in my opinion has a higher ceiling than Dwight just because of his demeanor and tenacity. I’m not going to act like I know much about Vucevic but I know he’s solid MIGHT have multiple All-Star seasons but Drummond is a franchise staple and other than Davis there is not another big in the league I’d start my team with.

 At the moment I can make a case that Vucevic is a better player but I believe that Drummond has more upside long term. Both guys are still young 24 and 21 years old respectively and in their 4th and 3rd NBA seasons so they should both have considerable upside to come.

Drummond will be in a very strong negoiating position this summer  so will likely get a near max deal or better. Vucevic’s extension last summer now looks a good piece of business by Orlando and I’m sure that Philly still rue the day they were part of the D12/Iggy/Bynum trade.
