"Andre Drummond, Fr., Connecticut Combine measurements: Height: 6' 11.75'' (with shoes), Weight: 278.6, Wingspan: 7' 6.25'', Standing reach: 9' 1.5'' Basic stats: 10 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 2.7 bpg, .538 FG%, .295 FT% Synergy stats of note: Offense: Post-ups: .578 points per possessions (16th percentile) Defense: Post-ups: .422 ppp (96th percentile) Jason’s take: Look up the definition of "upside" in this year’s edition of the NBA Draft dictionary and you’re very likely to see a picture of Andre Drummond right next to the word. The Connecticut center is a physical freak, drawing comparisons to Dwight Howard due to his ridiculous combination of size, strength and explosive athleticism. Of course, there is a big difference between being an elite athlete and an elite basketball player and the latter is what Drummond must now concern himself with, just as Howard did when similar concerns were raised about him on draft day. The tools are all there. And the greatest reason for optimism to date lies in the fact that Drummond wasted little time becoming an interior defensive force; just check out his super Synergy stats when defending post-ups. To be sure, Drummond’s offensive game needs significant work and polish, but the same can be said for nearly every big man at the beginning of his NBA career. The key to his future success will be determined by the way he answers the two questions that stand between every supremely gifted player and superstardom: How badly does he want to be great and how hard is he willing to work to make it happen?"
