Wow this guy is a monster and a fa in the off season. I know he's resigning the pistons are for real
Didn't Phil help draft Drummond
yeah i saw the game. hes a beast
Detroit out scored Portland 41-11 in the 4th. Reggie had 40pts as well. Crazy game.
Detroit looks like a top team in the NBA right now wow

SVG has that team looking like the 09 magic that went to the finals
I guess they're not missing Monroe too much...

It just gives Drummond the space. Drummond is something between a Dwight Howard and a Shaq. Hard to believe Andre turned 22 3 months ago. I think wed have to go back many many years to find a player averaging 20-20 after 7 games. Hes 280 pounds and hes very fit.

They have something along the lines of what Houston has right now--but just not as deep. I can see them as a team who might be willing to give up a 1st round pick this year for a high quality veteran improvement

Can't hit the 3, though

I'm actually a little surprised that he has not had a single assist the entire year...almost impossible to imagine. Something he needs to work on, I would expect.
You would have seen a lot of him at Connecticut, I assume. I'm going to guess that he took the sport up later in his life, but I don't know his background at all.
Did not realize he was so young.

haha ... suckin up a bit?
Rodman would never have been asked to shoot a three (though he still took some SMH). Ben wallace to.
They ain't a KP/AD types.

And he's 200x better than Rolo!

Drummond is the best C in the NBA by a wide margin.

Knew I would get a response from one of our new age stat guys

Heck, this guy has to work on his foul shooting- will make a big difference for his game, and how other teams deal with him.

I knew that you were baiting me :-)
Hack-A-Dre ... right around the bend. 40% eeeesh.
Lets not crown him yet ... remember its ONLY 6 games.
Anyway ... 20 boards a game? Whats with the water in Detroit?
This is what happens when you waive Josh Smith.

Getting rid of a paint clogger who can't rebound and a long time chucker are helping Drummond's cause.
Nonetheless, 29 and 27 are impressive under any circumstances.
Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris shoot reboundable misses.
