Andre Drummond Is A Sixer!

The bigger question is what did they do with that toenail

 

Gasol is tearing it up, while AD2 toe nail is stil

The Clippers will trade for it, anything laker related can maybe rub off on them

 

I’ve been using it as a toothpick. And guitar pick. JK, I don’t play guitar.

 

Knows his strengths and what his role was going to be wherever he landed.

 

Wow so Andre made Gasol good too. Maybe if we pick up another killer big man center Marc will return to Allstar form.

 

Looks like he's ready for tomorrow

 

Tell us the truth, you were able to play Hendrix version of All Along the Watchtower just by using AD2's toenail right?????

 

I was really impressed with some of his boards, wow!

 

He'll look better when the King returns, like everybody else

 

Yeah, the guards aren't good enough at getting him the ball and not telegraphing it. Bron is a good enough passer that even if he telegraphs it, Heat won't be able to get it.

 

He looked much better today, but still has a ways to go. I get a little concern with his small hands fumbling the ball away. He needs more work with the screens and rolls. Overall, I love his physical play underneath. he instantly establishes his territory underneath.

 

Missing 4 big players for us, and we were competitive with a contender. That’s a good sign.

 

They were healthy and we were minus half our team. They barely won.

 

He looked a lot better than I was expecting and he did very well on the PnR defense which apparently was a weakness of his. He's just a presence down low and I cannot wait for him to play with LeBron and AD - going to be a lot easier and he's going to get so many offensive boards because of all the attention those guys draw. Love it

 

My only complaint is he's got to get back in transition faster. Great he's going for rebounds but on the change of possession he kind of coasted back. Of course, he's not as a fast as bigs like AD but with the Lakers particularly with AD/Lebron you need to get back on defense. This team bread and butter is to make it difficult for teams to score and then dominate on the glass and just be big. Drummond fits that but he looked slow to me versus someone like Dwight who went running hard either way

Some of this is obviously conditioning and as noted he may not have as much straight line footspeed but these youngish semi-star players are often allowed to have bad habits on bad teams and that needs to be taken care of

 

i didn't see the game, but drummond's conditioning hasn't impressed me, basically ever. i think it's one of the things that's held him back from fulfilling his potential.

 

even if its stat padding on bad teams, you'd thunk he has decent enough conditioning to be pulling off 20/20 gms
