I am not completely down on Drummond.
I think on the right team, he could make a solid contribution.
They Nyets, the Celtics, the Wizards?
Sure.
The Knicks.
No way.
Something to explore over the summer?
Perhaps? I wouldn't, but wonder what Thibs might think.
Too one dimensional for Knicks. Clog the lane. Poor mesh with Randle.
Surely not for anything vaguely like the money he will be looking for. For Kanter money? Mmmmmmm.
Not a good fit.
For NOW?
For RIGHT NOW?
Whatsoever our limitations might be, we have....CHEMISTRY.
Drummond would muck it up.
Knicks would have to adjsut to him, rather than the other way around.
In mid-season?
No thanks.
Not to mention, Mitchell had won over Thibs when he got hurt. Doesn't need the ball to make an impact. Neither does Noel.
Excellent rebounder, but not that fantastic a shot blocker.
Also, Drummond is a horrific FT shooter, and his total number of attempts has plummeted in the past two seasons.
Finally, his conditioning is a concern. Still a young man, and surely a physical presence, but why did both Detroit and Cleveland give up on him?
HELLO.
