To the people who have seen him a lot this year,what’s so good about him?
I have seen 3 games this year,and he looked very slow…couldnt blow by anyone,and also got beat off the dribble quite a few times…He doesnt look to have the kind of foot speed necessary to be the elite defender ive heard about.Although he couldnt create his own shot,he did seem to be a good rebounder,passer as well as a good shooter off the dribble.But nothing close to what a widely believed top 3 draft pick should look like…
Again maybe he just was having bad games,but again to the people who have seen him a lot,whats so good about him?

Great defender both on and off the ball, much improved shooter this year, and a solid post game for a small forward, a Mr. Versatility type of player.

Very smart, came in as a college freshman who played in a tiny school in Missouri and never played AAU ball and didn’t miss a beat making that jump to the Big East. By his sophomore year he was Mr. Do It All who dropped a 30 point game. I think after some adjusting to the faster pace and more athletic NBA, he’ll make a smooth transition, again, because of his on court smarts.

That’s interesting because when I watched him he did everything. Every game I watched and there were a lot on TV, the guy literally jumped out at me with everything he contributes in a game.

– His motor never stops on either end of the floor, gives maximum effort
– high usage and high efficiency scorer
– Can shoot the 3
– Got to the rim with ease when I watched him play, explosive dribbler. He doesn’t waste dribbles, it’s triple threat and explosive dribble either into a pull up jumper or all the way to the basket
– His passing and dribbling skills were so good that he was often the best playmaker on the floor and more than a few times was used as a point forward, turns the ball over very rarely. Unselfish to a fault at times.
– Rebounds extremely well on both ends of the floor, and is an incredible outlet passer after a defensive rebound
-Runs the floor well, always spaces the floor properly on the break whether leading the break himself or filling lanes
-A great and versatile defender. The best part of his game in my opinion. He guarded every position at times during the year and was used in different positions in their zone defenses and various presses. He racks up blocks at times but doesn’t go for a lot of blocks. Always gets his hands up and contests shooters relentlessly. Anticipates very well. Forces steals and turnovers. His helpside defense is elite.
– Draws fouls consistently (5 fouls per 40 minutes) but commits few fouls himself (2 fouls per 40 minutes)
– Great off of the ball, uses screens well, sets himself up properly coming off of screens. He is constantly in motion off of the ball and never lets up. He screens well off of the ball to free teammates
– Is just starting to develop a post game but looked very efficient when he went into the post and this should continue to develop
– Takes and makes big shots

Georgetown really was not a good basketball team. It’s amazing how much better he made every player on that team. Otto Porter was the reason they were a 2 seed in the tournament and not an NIT team.

Everytime I saw Drummond despite numbers I like what I saw for his position. With Porter he does not have drummond potential but he does the needs of the position. Again this is considered a weak draft. I can think of a few guys I like more than him overall, but at the 3 he impresses me so yeah. I could see top 3.
