Just like a lot of prospects in what is perceived as a deep draft, so much of Andre Drummond’s stock will be determined by how he fares in individual workouts. It’s pretty clear Kentucky forward Anthony Davis will go No. 1 — but who goes No. 2 remains up for grabs. FOXSportsOhio

“If Drummond impresses (during individual workouts), he’ll be that guy,” one scout said. “If he doesn’t, and just looks so-so, he could drop fast. There might not be a bigger unknown at the moment.” FOXSportsOhio

“This is a one-player draft,’’ agent David Falk told the Observer Monday, referring to Kentucky freshman big man Anthony Davis. “Picks two through eight, there’s not a lot of separation. There’s just not a lot of difference between (Michael Kidd-)Gilchrist, (Andre) Drummond or (Harrison) Barnes. A lot of teams will be looking to trade down because the difference from two through eight is miniscule". Charlotte Observer

Drummond had an up and down season and is mentioned by some as a possible bust. He stands a great chance to get a GM fired whether it be for selecting him too high, or not taking him. An absolute physical specimen with incredible mobility and athleticism for a player his size. At 6-foot-10 and 270 pounds, Drummond is said to be the fastest player on the UConn team. Unfortunately his motor runs hot and cold leaving many wondering whether he will live up to his vast potential. HoopsHype

Analysis: Kidd-Gilchrist, like the other Kentucky players, still hasn't officially declared for the draft, but he will. The Wizards desperately need MKG's leadership, toughness and work ethic. But I hear they also may be tempted by Brad Beal's shooting and the upside of Andre Drummond. I think the Beal vs. Kidd-Gilchrist scenario is a toss-up. But after the Kwame Brown and JaVale McGee experiences, I would be surprised if Washington chased Drummond. ESPN.com

Andre Drummond will declare for the NBA draft, making the highly touted freshman the program's first one-and-done player. The school made an official announcement Friday. Drummond, the highest-rated recruit in team history, is seen as a potential No. 5 pick in June's draft, according to ESPN Insider Chad Ford's mock draft. UConn's postseason ban in 2013 was a factor in Drummond's decision, a source told the Connecticut Post. ESPN.com

With the Huskies facing a 2013 postseason ban, Drummond decided the time was right for him to depart, a source said. Drummond spoke often of enjoying school and, a source said, was likely to have returned if the Huskies weren't facing the postseason ban. The 6-foot-10, 270-pound Drummond, who shocked everybody by committing to UConn just as school began, becomes the first one-and- done player in UConn history. rep-am.com

Jim Calhoun could make an announcement on his future, and the indecisive duo of Andre Drummond and Jeremy Lamb will likely make their respective decisions, as well. Everyone expects Lamb to go pro, but sources indicate Drummond is on-the-fence. Connecticut News

Calhoun said he, Jeremy Lamb, and Lamb's father, Rolando, spoke on Friday about Lamb's decision regarding the NBA draft. "They're about ready to make a decision," Calhoun said. Insiders believe it's only a matter of time before Lamb declares he is leaving. Calhoun has also spoken often with center Andre Drummond, also a potential NBA lottery pick, and envisions a decision sometime next week. Drummond, who just finished his freshman season, has said he is "weighing out his options." Players must declare by Tuesday if they are staying in school, but can opt to enter the draft as late as April 29. Hartford Courant

SG Jeremy Lamb remains more likely than freshman C Andre Drummond to declare for the NBA Draft. Lamb considered the draft last offseason and came back to lead the Huskies in scoring at 17.7 ppg. Lamb is considered a potential top 10 pick and is regarded as one of the top two SG prospects potentially in the draft. CBSSports.com

UConn officials are waiting to see if they will win a waiver to be eligible for the 2013 NCAA tournament. But sophomore Jeremy Lamb and freshman Andre Drummond probably will make up their minds before a decision is rendered. Nothing is official, but a source with knowledge said the UConn coaching staff expects Lamb to declare and stay in the NBA draft since he’s a likely lottery pick. Drummond might not bolt, though. The source said the staff isn’t so sure Drummond will leave even if the Huskies can’t play in the NCAA tournament. The reason is that Drummond may see the need to continue to improve his game in college to be better prepared for the transition. ESPN.com
