Defensively no doubt. Man defense though.... I think Drummond could provide that same defense and rebounding, and the guy is just huge and takes up a lot of space.
My personal opinion is that Drummond has a chance to be special, and while I like Ibaka, he has a chance to be really solid. I think if it presents itself, Drummond would be my guy.....I think he will be long gone by then though.
Drummond has the chance to be better -- his quickness and his Oden-like size is rare. But will he ever 'get it'?
No. I would rather take a chance on getting a higher level player--even though I may lose. Ibaka and Maynor to me are both middling players. I'm hoping one of the picks we have will get us someone better than either of them.
As of right now the only thing stopping him from being there at 6 is Cleveland imo That said, prospects like Drummond just don't ever fall very far. There's so much upside there.
You're undervaluing Ibaka. Age: 22 PER: 19 DRtg: 98 BLK%: 9.8 BPG: 3.7 Playoffs: PER: 21.3 DRtg: 103 BLK%: 9.6 BPG: 3.3 Middling he is not.
I've been advocating on this board for Drummond since we traded for the Nets' pick. From the start of the season, when we weren't sure whether or not we'd even have a lotto pick, I was hoping for Drummond. I like some of the other talent in the draft, but Drummond is my pick at No. 6, assuming he's still there. Make it happen, Olshey!

http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm Rusty Simmons: Two things overheard in the NBA pre-draft combine lobby that might interest Warriors fans: 1. Chicago is not expected to pick up the $3.7 million option on point guard C.J. Watson He would be a decent pick up for depth
MickZagger says Kermit doesn't want to be in basketball anymore.... mmmmmm Coookie Monstarrrr!!!!!!!!
I agree, it sure appears that at this early date POR may have a chance to choose either Robinson and Drummond.... I just wonder, why would SAC take Robinson if they already have Cousins? Wouldn't it make more sense to take Drummond and move\keep Cousins at PF?
DraftExpress shares the same opinion on Jared Sullinger as my pizza delivery friend @TimMooneyCA: #dxchat what is the ceiling for jared sullinger at the next level? DraftExpress: Scola in prime. People are sleeping on him. 2012-05-26 09:56:01 From DraftExpress.com http://www.draftexpress.com#ixzz1x3GhxZl5 http://www.draftexpress.com Luis Scola's stats at 30 were 20/9 18.4 PER
Sullinger. Going through the Oden era and the same problem (leg one-inch shorter than the other), I'd rather not go in that direction.
Do you have a link on that? I can't find it anywhere and you've relayed it a couple times, Sir Hammersticks.
