I thought I made the following post already but am having computer issues and don't see it here so I'll post it again.
I love how Sty talks out of both sides of his mouth. A little over a month ago he was saying how Iggy is breaking down. Now though, he refers to him as en elite perimeter defender and mentions his Finals MVP.
Ruflz. ****ing clown.

Around that same time he was talking about how bad Reggie Jackson is.
Now, I draft Drummond and all of a sudden he's a "starting level PG" who isn't holding him back.
Jordan played w/ Paul and Drummond w/ Jackson and they put up nearly identical numbers.

Yep. Rubio might very well have the best season of his career here coming up. Him and Gobert are going to be a nice P&R tandem for Quin. If Favors and Hood step up, he'll get a lot of attention for stepping into Hayward's shoes as the team leader on offense (despite the fact that he won't be the leading scorer.)

No, they didn't.
I don't love defensive metrics, but DRPM is probably the best, and RPM (which goes with it, but is overall) both indicate otherwisez
The ratings you want to use indicate Westbrook was one of the leagues best defenders last year. That alone should tell you it's bad.
When we look at the overall set of Srunmonds numbers, including how his team is better with him off the court, it should lead us to believe that DRPM makes more sense.
According to DRPM, among centers who played more ban 20 mpg, Drummond was middle of the pack (14th). Were we to include those who played 15-20 mpg, he'd be bottom of the pack. And that was his best part, his ORPM was a negative.
Watching him play backs those numbers up. Watch the tape man.

Yep. He is a starting level. That doesn't mean he's good. There's a reason the Pistons don't want him and there are no takers. He's a cancer.
I found an article from a year ago that had stats that proved the Clippers were a better defensive team with Jordan off the floor. Watch the tape man.
Ehh, in the middle on Drummond, the guy has a lot of tools, but I've yet to see him successfully apply them like Jordan consistently does (one of the best in the league at staying in his lane). I'm not sure Curry is the right PG to have him paired with to get the most out of him, players who play with Curry have to be pretty solid decision makers on their own and know how to move without the ball. Drummond seems like a guy who'd be at his best with someone else making all the decisions for him (a CP3/LeBron/Rubio type).
