well yeah, but players can only get so good, based on potential. leonard wouldn't be a horrible choice, but he doesn't have much potential. you can get guys like leonard in free agency for cheap most every year

how many white american centers pan out? the dreaded "athletic" white american centers rarely do much in the NBA. typically they end up doing the same shite drummond is expected to do, but at a lower level

And blacks will never be decent quarterbacks... seriously, what gives Drummond more upside? Higher reach in platforms and skin tone?

ETA: It has to be that free throw shooting precision.

athleticism

and that extra muscle in his leg

Seriously though, he has the potential to be more explosive and more powerful than Leonard... He already has the body of Dwight, just needs to learn how to play basketball.

he's already got 30 lbs of muscle over leonard and is more athletic

can you name me the last "athletic" american white center who did anything in the NBA? the only 2 white, american centers who are decent in the NBA are skilled, not athletic, 5s. and we own bird's rights on one (kaman)

i'm not saying that leonard cannot become a good center, but i refuse to buy into the hype on his type, b/c every time there is a guy like him in the draft they get over valued and picked too high
