Absolutely not. Drummond is a physical freak with no basketball skill. Bigs that can't shoot rarely turn it around so his ceiling is probably a Tyson Chandler top defensive center type of player.

Davis may not be as freakish but he's still a physical freak but he also has actual basketball skills both offensive and defensive that can be fine tuned over time. His ceiling is a Duncan/Garnett top 5 player in the league type.

A lot of physical freaks in the NBA aren't even half as good as Drummond is today.

Shaq, Wilt, Dwight Howard all say "What's up?"

Agreed. Davis, no doubt, can attain Duncan/Garnett status. He's gonna be a superstar.

The good thing about Davis is that be already has a great foundation built. The question in, can he fill out a bit and bang with the big boys. That's what will decide if he's a Garnett or Duncan.

As for Drummond, I see his ceiling as a Andrew Bynum (when he's healthy at his best). That's if he can develop some semblance of an offensive game.

If he doesn't develop an ounce of O game, then he could still be a great player. Look at guys like Wallace, Ibaka and Rodman. They were always key cogs in Championship caliber teams. Multiple time DMVP winners and even MVP candidates in some cases.

Man, if Drummond would've dropped to us, we would be challenging for a top 4 seed in the west for years to come.
