Hall of Famer
The thing that keeps me in the Drummond wagon is the examples of UConn big men that instead of having their games polished with a year in college, appears to lose a step after staying at UConn.
DMC was once a very good high school prospect but lost a few votes during the draft with his head case reputation that was aggravated at during his Kentucky days. DMC's issue was more of aggressive attitude, Drummond's case was the opposite. But IMO, things like these can be corrected if you surround the kid with a good system (i.e. bringing DMC's highschool coach to our bench). But talent and physical gifts of both bigs are only dozen in every decade.
The biggest difference between Cuz and Drummond, is no one questioned Cousins heart and desire. And thats what they question with Drummond. I'm not a mind reader, and I certainly don't want to brand a 19 year old kid for life, but desire and passion for the game can't be taught. You either have it or you don't. And I'm not saying he doesn't. Only Drummond knows.
