seriously, what gives Drummond more upside?

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

Cole Aldrich has played very well for the Thunder

Okay, name one white american center that is as big as Leonard AND has his vertical leap. I can also name you a dozen comparisons to Drummond who became chumps. It's a stupid exercise, though.

Take that extra inch that they inserted into Drummond's shoes for the measurements out and the standing reach is moot.

Is he? I know he's bigger, but the scouts were all seemingly very impressed with Leonard's athleticism. Drummond wouldn't stand behind his athleticism, though. Too afraid of being exposed, I suppose. It's easier to ride the hype train and hope for the best, I guess.
