Andre Drummond

Scouting Reports: June 2010 - Although Drummond didn’t show up until halftime of his team’s first game, he made an impact in the few minutes he played. He can finish with contact and runs the floor extremely well. On one play, he got a rebound over three players and then took two players off the dribble before driving to the basket. Drummond is also an adept shot-blocker and defender. Additionally, he showed good vision and passed the ball effectively. However, he did struggle with his footwork and back-to-the-basket game at times, resulting in difficult and awkward shots. Drummond also spends too much time on the perimeter as opposed to utilizing his size (6?10, 250) and skill down low (Jeff Borzello at Rumble in the Bronx).

May 2010 – Touted as arguably the best player in his class, Drummond has always seemed to lack something. Saturday was no different. He is extremely long and athletic, and he can run the floor as well as any big man in the country. He gets great position in the post, and can finish at the rim. Drummond is also an adept passer. Defensively, he blocks shots and rebounds due to his reach and leaping ability. However, for a player his size, he spends far too much time on the wing. He should camp out on the low block and utilize his skillset; on too many possessions, though, he fails to make his presence known (Jeff Borzello at Bob Gibbons’ TOC)
