I remember there was a thread about how disappointing he was at the start of the season. He has been ridiculously good fantasy wise these past few weeks. 20 and 17 tonight, it seems most games are 15 and 15 at least lately.

2nd best young big and fantasy C. Now if only he could hit half of his free throws.

I've had him since his rookie year, waiting for these numbers.

Actually the #27 rated C on the ESPN player rater.

Those rebounds get people starry eyed, but there are bigs who are scoring significantly more who can pass, as well as score at a + 60% clip. At least he has raised his FG%, but there isnt any reason he shouldnt be in the Dwight Howard/Chandler/Jordan type FG%. Shooting 5 FTs a game at 41% is killer


Obviously he is still young AF, but let's not pretend he's "made it" yet. He will put up some monster board games but he still needs to do a lot more to be considered one of the best centers in fantasy

Yap yap yap.

Drummond is a beast, but he's better IRL than fantasy. People are drooling over his recent hot streak mainly b/c he started out the season so shitty.

As bad as Dwight hurt your FT%, Drummond impacts his twice as bad.


Do that thing where you post player comparisons. Due him vs Kenny Faried over last 15 (Drummonds "turnaround"). Who would you rather have?

The extra block and steal per game is nice, but that 37% FT on 8 attempts is straight garbage.

Fortunately, I'm in a head to head points league, so his piss poor free throw shooting doesn't hurt me much. It's a free league, don't know why I even care so much, something to do

Sounds like amateur hour if a players poor FTs doesn't impact your score

Sure it does. If he shot good FT% then he'd be the best player in fantasy. He gets a -1 point for eachc missed FT

He is still a beast in points leagues regardless of his -1 for every missed FT

Oh yes definitely a beast

Not close to the 2nd best center in fantasy. That's all I was saying.
