Even if Drummond ends up being 75% of what Andrew Bynum is now, he would be a top 5 center in the league...thus validating the risk of taking him 2nd overall.
Save Dwight, today's centers aren't dominant.

Re: How Would You Fix the Bobcats?

Anthony Davis isn't an NBA center, he's a power forward.

At least I hope no one's dumb enough to make him their center.

The term "dominant" is relative to the competition. If you can consistently impose your will on basically every other guy who defends you, you are quite literally dominating them.

Re: How Would You Fix the Bobcats?

He's gonna grow from 210

Aren't you a Celtics fan? He can grow to KG's size who's playing Center just fine this year. And yeah he can't guard Dwight or Bynum but who can

'Dominant' is a guy who changes and takes over games altogether. AKA not Bynum.

19/12/2 on 56% from the field with only 1.7 fouls in 35 minutes sounds pretty game changing to me.

And to my point, your ability to change or take over games are based on the competition. Thus dominant being a term that is relative to competition, and being the 2nd best player at your position lends itself to being "dominant" on a consistent basis.

The Hornets will, in fact, be that dumb.

Re: How Would You Fix the Bobcats?

If they keep Okafor it'll be a horse a piece really, so no matter who is listed as the C on that given night it's basically just a formality.

Glad you're so easily pleased.

Then why doesn't Bynum dominate more?

Re: How Would You Fix the Bobcats?

The Bobcats are so bad they can't even hold their own thread in a discussion! LOL

1)Send Jordan and all his cronies on a golf tour of America and stay away from North Carolina.

2)Stop hiring senior citizen coaches (Sloan, Silas, Brown etc...)

3)Team is far too young, too short (Biyombo 6'8" center ), too inexperienced. Get some cheap vets who can at least show them how to win two or three games in a row. And that its not high school gym all over again.

4)Amnesty Tyrus and cut your losses. And that guy from Kansas is too short also. Since this team won't win anytime soon, draft Drummond. You can't have Drummond and Thomas at the same time. Drummond is younger and cheaper.

When you're this bad you have to go for the best talent available. You won't get FA's coming and you have no one to trade.

ps. Actually the answer is to blow it up but, their egos won't allow them to do that.

Because Bynum's lazy and doesn't yet have the mindset to dominate more. But hopefully that's coming next season. Overall, this season was a step in the right direction but he himself said he wasn't always there 100% mentally at times this season. If that changes, you'll see that domination come.

And who exactly is KG playing center against ? Anthony ? Turiaf? or even LeBron

Run that good defense the Celtics had in 2008: Put Okafor in the Perk role, Put Davis and his length in the middle of the key like KG. Ariza takes care of a wing. That's a good defense !

Re: How Would You Fix the Bobcats?

KG has been playing center since the All-Star break, not coincidentally, right around the time that Celtics defense started playing at a championship level (which they need because of how bad their offense can be at times).

All three are limited offensively, though... especially next season while the Brow finds his way in the league.
