Dude is nailing free throws, guarding guys on the perimeter, forcing people into ugly shots, an outlet for easy scores all down the stretch in close games.
Better than advertised for me. Is his free throw shooting an aberration or did he tweak something? I haven't really watched him before he came here.
Even in his low-scoring games, he is still so effective. But today he was putting the ball in the hoop!
He was on fire but he will cool off, if he can keep shooting above 60%, I'll be happy

What is most surprising about Drummond is his quick hands. I see why he gets so many steals, for a big guy he is really good at getting deflections even on guards off switches.
You know Dwight Howard put up those games for us... oh wait LOL

Could always get Howard for $2.5M. Not gutting the team for a non-superstar. Howard was doing basically the same thing as Dre.
27 points too ???
Once in a while, yes. Let’s face it, unless Drummond takes a significant pay cut, lakers can’t keep him. Us as fans would love to, but if you are a 27 year old NBA player in your prime, would you take a significant pay cut?

I don't know if we can sign him in the summer but I'm focused on this year. With LBJ turning 37 in December, his game might fall off a cliff. Let get this ring and worry about the future when it's here
Drummond dropped 27/8/3/2/1 and some of ya'll still be like "I'd rather have a 36 year old Dwight Howard tho" .... seriously??! _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

LOL! Boom!
I didnt think someone could match Killer_z's quote but this is close enough..you are joining killer in my sig!

This is huge. His mobility allows him to be left on the court (reasonably) even if the opposing team goes small. Gives us a big advantage if utilised correctly
I hope he can play at this level when our two stars return... _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.”

If he can consistently give us 10/10 when they come back, that's all we'll need. Then Trez can pitch 15 in off of the bench getting assists from Gasol and we'll be set.

I don’t trust Trez’s 15. He will be a net 0 or -2 from all the points scored on the Lakers on his defensive breakdowns.
I would rather go small with Kieff at the 5 or have Gasol out there who actually helps LBJ facilitate the offense and while he isn’t the greatest defender anymore is still smart enough to get by and be serviceable in playoff situations.

He’s net 0 because he’s guarding fives. We knew this when we signed him and we also knew that would be a non issue with AD.
For second units - unless they go big we should be playing him. There’s only a handful of 2nd unit bigs who we should worry about him guarding.
We’re not asking him to guard Ayton when the team is healthy - we’re asking him to guard Saric/Kaminsky. _________________ Author of James Harden and the Strip Club

How is he able to play while missing a toenail? Is it not a big deal? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

It’s not only guarding 5s. He’s a poor interior defense player...he is very slow to react. I was hoping his technique would improve as he worked with top defensive coaches, but it has not...
He is also a horrible defensive rebounder, which is crazy considering he is above average to pretty good on offensive rebounds.
Can Drummond do a S&T to the lakers? Sign with knicks for example, and we train shroeder (with an extension) or trez for Ad2 _________________ Billions Billions Billions
