Drummond has a role to fill...and basis his production with CLE - I think he can. 28MIN / 17.5PTS / 13.5REB / 1.2BLKS I'll take those stats - surrounded by our lineup when healthy - anytime. We just need to get healthy...if we can. you think drummond is coming in to score 17 points on 15 shots a night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 2 minutes ago, NYRaider said: Dwight and Drummond are completely different players though. Dwight is literally one of the greatest defensive players in the history of the NBA, he was a 3x DPOY and made 5 All-Defensive teams. His calling card throughout his career has always been his defensive ability and he was even able to lead a team to the NBA finals earlier in his career. He was also a guy that was at the end of his career and bought into being a role player by doing the dirty work on defense and played within himself shooting 73% FG so he could chase a ring. Drummond has never played winning basketball and is one of the worst defensive big men in the league. IIRC there are only like 3 other centers in the NBA this season that have a lower defensive rating and he has had a negative net rating in 8/10 seasons. He has also literally been the worst player in the league this season finishing around the rim, someone posted a graphic the other day, and it's honestly amazing that he's shooting 47% when almost all of his offense comes exclusively at the rim. He also ranks in the 9th percentile defending the pick-n-roll this season meaning that he has been worse than 91% of the league. If you're looking at his statistics, sure they look pretty good. But he's a terrible defender and isn't a guy that's going to be a high energy role player. Hell when he signed with the Lakers he said it was because he had the opportunity to be a focal point while LeBron and AD are injured. Fine. I'm okay with the move. We needed a body in the middle. We'll see how it plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have gone hard after Dieng. Not as big of a name, but a better fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanSlim Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The Pels have really found something with their Lewis Jr./NAW/Hart/Zion/Hayes lineup. Got to be encouraged by the young guys in the past couple weeks if you’re a Pelicans fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
