Dwight was not the reason Houston got bumped. He is really hard to guard in the post one on one. He has simple moves but they work. He has jump hooks, a fast dribble drive and he makes reverse layups at a high clip.

Drummond post game is raw and mostly basic, but it certain isn't nonexistent. When you couple his budding post game with his elite level touch around the basket I think in his prime he surpasses Howard especially offensively. This is just a taste of his offensive skillset.

Less assisted baskets because likely 90% of his points come from offensive rebounds. He legit has less post moves and inside footwork than even Dwight, IMO.

Elite level touch? Idk about that but I won't argue it, I haven't even heard the few Pistons fans on here say that though.

He may pass Dwight in his prime, who knows. But that doesn't justify his rating for next season. When he can carry a team offensively, carry a team to the finals or even playoffs, average over 20 points on just 11 shots, and have playoff averages like Dwight has had, then maybe we can get back to that discussion.

He averaged 26 and 14, he was definitely not the reason they lost. Let's point the finger at Harden who's defense was non existent and refused to stop jacking up bad jumpers every trip up the court.. He took 9 threes per game despite the fact he was only hitting 29% of them, ridiculous.

Okay, from the other thread, I have to say I have a MAJOR problem with Bogut being rated an 80 while Drummond is a 83.

Bogut is easily better and more important in his role anchoring a top defensive team than Drummond, and is currently just a much better player overall. It's just the injury concerns.

This makes me worried the new system may overrate athleticism again and depresses the value of bigs who just effectively do their jobs because they're simply better and smarter basketball players. Not to mention Bogut's offensive facilitating smarts beyond his own shot making. Bogut should at least be an 85 given role and how hugely important big men are. He's 2nd or 3rd in importance behind Curry and on the tier of Jordan, Noah, healthy Tyson Chandler, Hibbert (when you average him out), etc. and as a homer I'd say he's better than some of them.

Odd. I didnt think Portland had a chance at Oden so I wanted Batum and Noah. They had two picks I wanted them to go French. Noah was tough at Florida. I was also high on Drummond.

I wanted Young. But I'm cool with what we got.

I agree somewhat on what your saying but making Bogut a 85? I don't see that, only centers in the game I think should even be consider to be 85 or better is Howard and Noah with possibility of Cousins and Marc Gasol .. before anybody says Anthony Davis, he is going to play PF with Asik.
