Finished with 26 and 26. Will be fun to watch his career.

As long as he has a good work ethic and stays healthy, there is absolutely nothing he can't do. Too bad he plays for Detroit too.

The Rockets wanted to trade up in the draft to grab him. That was the draft before they acquired Harden. A lot of analysts thought that Morey was desperate and Drummond wasn't worth it. A lot of analysts were wrong.

Great player when he wants to be. But unfortunately like the rest of the Pistons, he gives half-arse effort a lot.

The Pistons are actually pretty loaded. I feel like Phil Jackson could get that team rolling. But Josh Smith sucks. Until someone convinces him that he shouldn't be shooting threes, he will have no NBA value.

IIRC didn't the Pels have a chance to draft him? That frontline of him and AD would be terrifying.

They were just put together poorly. The pieces don't fit well.

Nope. Y'all took Austin Rivers right after Drummond came off the board.

Sadly no. One pick away from two beasts instead we got one beast and Austin Rivers.

Most mocks had him going to Cleveland because it made too much sense. Too much sense for their GM who thought he was smarter than everybody else.

Sadly my team is known for taking Hasheem Thabeet over James Harden and Steph Curry

Drummond and Monroe are solid together. I didn't much issue at the time with Jennings. Did not like the Josh Smith signing at all.
Will be an interesting offseason, with Joe D. expected to resign.

I just thought they gave up too quickly on Brandon Knight.

quote:Jennings is an ok player. But if the goal is to ultimately win a championship, I just don't think Jennings is a guy you should want. I don't see him ever being the PG on a Finals team if he's one of the 2 or 3 best players on the team and/or gets to shoot at will at his usual sub-40%

They're fricked with the new worst contract in the NBA. They'll never be able to trade Josh Smith.
Posted on 4/11/14 at 10:26 pm to buzwa
i was so wrong about him
Posted on 4/11/14 at 10:34 pm to Carson123987
It was hard to make an argument for him to succeed immediately in the NBA. He sucked offensively at UConn and was routinely dominated by dudes who never had a shot at the d league. And he air balled free throws on the reg. He was a disaster with work ethic concerns.

Don't forget trading Kevin Love for OJ Mayo
