Is it just me or does Andre Drummond look like an absolute beast?

He had a very average season though and was kind of disappointing. But potential alone will make him a top 5 pick.
Anthony Davis looks incredible though. He is already the consensus #1 but he is a superstar in the making for sure.

He is a beast, but a lot of mental issues, he is one of those players who can be great but work ethics, drive,etc will determine that.

How about that Kidd-Gilchrist guy (hope I didn`t butcher his name). What is your take on him?

MKG is like a younger and better Kawhi Leonard. They both have the same style as Gerald Wallace or Shawn Marion. He is really raw though but he has the potential to be as good or better than those two. He is probably my favourite player of this class and I hope the Raptors trade up and get him because he is exactly the type of player they need.

Thomas Robinson is a top three player, however potential wise i would take Drummond over Davis, i see and under the hype of Davis. However Drummond is a physical specimen with above average athleticism.

However Drummond is a physical specimen with above average athleticism. So was Kwame Brown. But that is all he ended up being. Davis could never improve for his entire career but he would still probably be a starting quality power forward. He has a high floor and his ceiling is basically non-existent. I think he is a guarenteed superstar.

See the thing is Kwame Brown on draft day was a better prospect than Anthony Davis. Time will tell, but the thing is I think I have the best prospect in coming into next season. The thing with Davis is he is raw and undersized, the thing with Davis is how is he going to transition to the NBA game? His biggest strength is his defense, but being an undersize big man will is the issue.
Denver, i know you have seen the development of bosh, Bosh had an offensive game, but for years on defense he was getting pushed out of the lane etc. Right now scouts are saying that is a major weakness for davis. My issue with Davis is this, all the undersize bigs Bosh,KG were offensive minded players, Davis is defense.

BUT as a PF, if he bulks up from his 225 LBS frame to about 240, he can easily be one of the better PF in the game.

Davis has already proven himself though, he led his team to a national championship and was the best player the whole way through. Kwame was a kid out of highschool who had never done anything. He was more like an Andrew Bynum but he never figured it out.

Dont think too highly on Drummond. Trust me, I'm a Uconn fan. I was so excited when he committed to Uconn this past summer. Then he came into the season, hurt his nose, and ever since he was afraid to be strong in the post. All he did was jump and hope for alley oops. He has so much raw potential its crazy, which is why he'll go most likely in the picks 2-5. But, i think hes going to be another Hasheem Thabeet.
