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

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.


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

Drummond's not even in the same conversation with those guys. Dwight Howard started in the NBA after coming straight out of high school, so his rookie year of 12/10 was Drummond's freshman year of college. In Dwight's 2nd year removed from High School he was averaging 16/12.

As a freshman at LSU Shaq only averaged 14/12, but in his 2nd year removed from high school he became dominant and averaged 27/15 and his rookie year in the league he averaged 23/14.

Drummond's 2nd year removed from high school he's not even starting and he's averaging 7/7. I'm not saying he's going to be a bad player, he may well end up being another Tyson Chandler, but if he was going to be a Super Star we'd know it already. The NBA has been following these guys since elementary school in many cases. They rarely miss on Super Stars.
