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, 18, is one of the biggest risks in this draft. While talking to one NBA executive, he brought up two words that sent up red flags: passion and motor. He's not sure Drummond's passion for the game is where it needs to be. Also, his motor seems to be on idle at times. News-Herald |

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 |

Since UConn is on probation, Drummond can transfer to another school without having to sit out a season. Drummond is a likely top-five pick if he declares and could go as high as No. 2, so there seems to be a strong incentive for him to leave. However, over the past week, sources say he's been exploring other options. ESPN.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 |
