Comments on: Andre Drummond would have played an ordinary game tonight, but there’s no such thing for him

He probably wont do that this year since Im sure everyone is telling him he has to pay his dues. Unless someone just blatantly jacks him I dont think he will get into an altercation. Next year though, with a run through the league he will probably have a better grasp of what to expect and who to expect it from and will be ready

Frankly, if old vets are hitting him in the crotch on purpose, the next time one does it, he needs to invest in his future by earning his first flagrant foul decking the guy at the next opportunity. Problem solved.

What impresses me the most about Drummond are the plays when he grabs a rebound and makes a quick pass to an open man for a score, or blocks a shot and then also grabs the ball. Those are smart plays for a young guy. You have to feel good about his future with us as he learns and develops.

Would anybody do a trade of B. Knight And our no.1 pick this year probably top ten (we are obviously keeping it) for John wall? Patrick? Dan?

i’ve mentioned this before and i think it bears repeating.
drummond tried to dunk everything until jermaine o’neal elbowed him in the genitals.
(no nice way to put it.)
a couple of games later another old vet did the same thing and since then drummond has been very shy about dunking in people’s faces.
hopefully he’ll get over it and get back to trying to dunk everything, but his hesitance is understandable, considering.
i think it is that simple, and nothing more than the hesitation born of having older players let him know that he’d have to pay a price if he embarassed them like that. drummond should take a lesson from blake griffin and just physically assault anyone who comes near him when he is dunking. that will keep them away from his …er…vital organs.

Thanks to you, and 19880607. Like I said i don’t anything about Roy Rogers and was just seeking clarification. I will go forward from this knowing that this all part of Andre’s learning curve and not hold anything against his “bigs” coach.

Man Washington was horrible last night. I thought we were playing the Generals and not the Wizards. I liked how Frank was tinkering with different games since the game was such a joke. The frontcourt of Drummond, Charlie V and Austin Daye may seem laughable at first blush, but it holds such promise when all three guys are engaged. Stuckey still does silly stuff and forces shots or passes once in a while but overall I think he’s found his happy place. We definitely need more talent, a star player to get other involved and playing better. Til then the focus should be improving the youngsters.

Watching Maxiell you realize just how hard he plays all the time. How can you bench a guy like that? Better to trade him to a contender who will appreciate the effort.

Im a ball boy for the Pistons and get to watch Roy work with the big men everyday. The sentence “Dunk that ball boy” comes oout of his mouth at least 5 times per shootaround with Dre. Dre’s problem is that he always brings the ball down after he gets rebounds. He is only 19 years old and his bad habits will go away over time. Roy Rogers certainly isn’t the problem hes a very good coach.

still think Maxiell would fit better with the 2nd unit….

I dont even care about these wins against the Wizards… because we arent going to play then 50 more times…

Wizard are a horrible measuring stick game…

Drummond Defense could set the tone early for this team….I would love to see them start him, just for the defensive presence…
