Andre Drummond is the Best Rebounder Ever

The numbers he is putting up are insane. He nearly had a 30/30 game, which has only been done once in the past 30 years. If his current average holds at 19 per game (it will go up actually since he just got 27) that will be the most rebounds averaged in a single season since 1971. If he cracks 20 per game for the season, that will be more than anyone has averaged since the 60's. Dude is a monster.
 
I wouldn't bet on him averaging 20 a game for the whole season.

Drummond had no business falling to the 9th pick. that was someone I saw SOOOO many years in advance of UConn, because the services all had him #1 early on. I was looking for some of those old Drummond Mixes on youtube the otherday and couldn't find em.

I thought Rudy played him well in that matchup, it got away from him in the 3rd a bit. Drummond is no joke though, and he's really young still.

Dude, I don't know. He is a ****ing animal and the only legitimate rebounder on the team. I wouldn't be surprised if he averages more than 21.

All I know is he is doing the Steph Curry equivalent of putting up insane numbers in the modern era and inserting himself in the conversation as the best at one particular skill. It will be interesting to see if he maintains.

Also factor in that he plays in the east, so he really only has to face dominant rebounding teams like Utah/Memphis twice a year.

Just think it's insane that right now we might have the best 3pt shooter ever (Curry), best shot blocker ever (Gobert), and rebounder ever(Drummond) all really emerging. All these guys have to sustain their levels for years to solidfy their status among the best, but it's possible.

Idk, I just can't see a player averaging 20 rebounds for a whole season.

I really liked Drummond when he was in high school (I actually liked him more than Davis before they started college). I was so pissed at the Warriors when he fell in the draft and we could have grabbed him had they not tanked and won the coin flip. I'll be even more mad if he averages 20 RPG like you're suggesting. I really ****ing hope that doesn't happen.

It seems ridiculous but Rodman averaged 18.7 one season and 18.5 the next and he is listed at just 6'7".
 
I remember someone talking **** to me about how dumb I was for saying that drummond would have a chance to be better than favors someday
 
How about The Pistons - 5-1? Got to be the surprise of the league so far.

Drummond was right not to sign an extension - he's going to clean up somewhere. Although I doubt you'll see 29 points from him many more times this season - you can credit Meyers Leonard for that.

But if Rodman had Drummond's size, he might have done 20 a game.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure Rodman wasn't even in the league at age 22 and Drummond is already this dominant of a rebounder, so he is ahead of where Rodman was at this point in his career.

There is also the angle of Drummond being way more offensively involved than Rodman ever was and still putting up monster rebounding numbers.

Are you aware of the competition level Chamberlain was playing against compared to Drummond?

Are you aware that Wilt was basically the best of Gobert and Shaq rolled into one(and then some). Wilt would ****in dominate Drummond if they played one another.

I don't know about Drummond, but you should ask Spycam for that article on Rodman's advanced analytics. He destroys Wilt, even against the vastly superior competition.

I was baffled at how many teams passed on Drummond. He was clearly the only guy that could stack up to Davis in terms of potential.

My big board was:

1. Davis
2. Drummond
3. Beal
4. MKG (missed on that one; I thought he could become what Leonard basically is right now)

If Wilt had a non-existent offensive game like Rodman, didn't expend energy scoring 50 pts a game, and concentrated only playing D and rebounding. Wilt would've averaged 40-50 rebounds a game. Think of how many offensive rebounds Wilt would've had if he wasn't shooting so much? Does the analytics take that into consideration?
