Andre Drummond was a premier talent for the 2013 NBA Draft. Now he’s a premier talent for the 2012 NBA Draft. Assuming the draft eligibility rules do not change with a new CBA, the recently turned 18 year old will be a top 3 choice come next June.
Originally headed for a prep school, the 6-10 local grown big man instead has decided to join the Connecticut Huskies in their 2011-12 NCAA title defence.
Joining championship returnee Jeremy Lamb, Drummond will be hoping to lead the Huskies to back-to-back national championships.
Drummond is a major talent. Possessing a ready made NBA body and a true inner flame, he could likely make an impact in the NBA right now.
His game play style has drawn comparisons to the Knicks’ Amare Stoudemire.
Drummond is a beast on the glass at both ends on the court as well a solid shot-blocker. He also posses a good passing eye and strong post defence as well as developing post game.
Drummond comes with the most hype we’ve seen in a Center since the Trailblazers’ Greg Oden, who has been derailed from an impressive NBA start by a string of injuries.
Along with the likes of Kentucky’s Anthony Davis, Duke’s Austin Rivers and North Carolina’s Harrison Barnes and James McAdoo, Drummond leads the best NBA draft class since 2008.
