If he becomes an elite defensive player and puts up 15/13 per game, does that make him a franchise player?

 

[travesy3]

No.

Raps are going to lose to NY tonight.  Running Lowry post ups.

Serious question: what do you see as Drummond's ceiling?  I get that his stats are gaudy, especially last year, and I don't watch him enough to comment.. but I get the feeling he's just a super athletic big.  Basically a competent version of DeAndre Jordan type.  Or do you actually envision him as a franchise player type of big?  I don't see it but again, I don't watch him often.

hes shown flashes that he can be a franchise changer, and even if he never develops a post game, he's still better than dj. i don't see him ever developing into a guy that just kills the defense in the list. that coaching staff changes haven't helped with him being so young but his "development" time is closing and he's close to being what he is.

I still can't believe the Colangelo took Ross when Drummond was just sitting there LOL.  Such an indefensible pick.

 

[Pugz]

i can't believe dumars didn't find a way to mess that pick up lol

 

[RipCity32]

Got lucky as hell he fell in our laps lol.

Can't win in crunch time for shit

We don't have any end of game plays? Just Melo ISO + bad shots

 

[elcheato]

The Warriors are on pace to go 75-7, and all they did was get rid of Mark Jackson and sign Speights

 

[CameronCrazy06]

They had Speights last year

They had Speights last year

 
Wasn't it a trade deadline deal, though?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I feel like I remember watching them in December of last year and him being there. 
 
Random memory to point to, but yeah.
 
If my memory wasn't enough I just checked and he played all 79 games he played there last year haha

Kerr has really changed up their rotations. I assume that's why there's confusion. AI on the bench, where he belongs. Draymond Green in the starting lineup, where he belongs.
 
My only question is if David Lee returns to the starting lineup. They're playing so well with Green at the 4, it'd make no sense to mess with their first 5.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

They didn't bench AI for Draymond, they benched AI for Barnes.

 

[bosoxlover12]

They benched Iggy mostly because he's a good ball handler, and they wanted a strong second unit. Why have your three best ball handlers in the same lineup when your backup SF can provide as much, if not more, offensively, than the starter, its really a no-brainer
