Is there a KnicksFactor you can use to project those numbers against NBA competition?Drummond with 33 and 23 tonight against the Knicks.
Still can't figure out why he couldn't rebound his one year at UCONN.
The 2012 team had Drummond, Roscoe Smith (who I think led the NCAA in rebounding when he transferred to Vegas) and an all time great head coach who emphasized rebounding,......and with all that the 2012 team stunk at rebounding.
Never underestimate chemistry or the lack there of.
He was one of the best offensive rebounders in the country as a freshman.Still can't figure out why he couldn't rebound his one year at UCONN.
The Celtics don’t seem to realize they could use some rebounding.Yeah he's definitely gonna be traded before the deadline, Mavs would be a perfect fit. Celtics wouldn't be an awful fit either?
In HS and prep, he could just jump over people to rebound. It took him a couple years to learn how to get position. He has a big lower body, that’s Perfect for that.He was one of the best offensive rebounders in the country as a freshman.
The team went for (and got) a lot of blocks, which gave up a lot of weakside rebounds. And he played alongside Oriakhi for a decent chunk of his minutes (and both of Roscoe and Oriakhi for 15% of his minutes), which meant a lot of competition for individual boards.
Drummond was not bad in 2012. Was he dominant? No, but he still had a solid Fr year and was obviously a first round draft pick.Still can't figure out why he couldn't rebound his one year at UCONN.

It’s hard to predict this because this is probably his last year of making 20+ million per year and on a team where he is a main option on offense. And when he finally gets to a good team he may not play enough minutes for the next several years to average the same kind of absurd rebounding numbers. He will still end up high on the list of all time rebounders but that may not be enough for the hall of fame unless he has post-season success somewhere.Drummond will in fact be a Hall of Fame player if he keeps those numbers up for another few years. I believe I saw a stat last night that the only players in NBA history that have more 30-20 games are Moses Malone and Dwight Howard? I was actually surprised to see that, even though I knew Drummond has been putting up big rebounding numbers ever since he got into the league.
That's what happens when you throw guys that won you that precious third title overboard for a shiny, new toy.Aside from that, 2012 will go down as one of the most, if not the most confusing season in Calhoun’s career at UConn. We’ve been over that hundreds of times, but It is still mind boggling how a team with Drummond, Lamb, Napier, Boatright, Daniels, Giffey, AO, and Roscoe, only ended up playing in the 8/9 game of the NCAA Tournament.
and what did he earn, talking cash moneh here, by not staying, hmmm?I believe Andre was our only one and done player. He went #10? in the NBA draft. I think one more year with Calhoun would have put him at the top of NBA draft boards.
he's wicked popular with me, as i admire greatness and not hype. mr drummond is an all-time great, at least according to the nba record book, and im just grateful that i had one year to see him in our uni.I’m not a big fan of Drummond as a player and he’s not very popular among the uconn alumni guys we all love...but I would love to see him with a great pg.. he’s played with really bad point guards his entire career.
