Everyone talks championship or bust, but something like a third of the league has only ever won titles, and that was before the 30 team era. Don't get me wrong, I would love "titles" too, but I'm going to hold my breath. You need lot's of luck, and typically you need the first or second best player in the NBA on your team. Let's win some playoff rounds, let's get something going, let's enjoy basketball again.
Everybody's saying "heaven forbid we became the Denver Nuggets model", hell what if we got to that point and sustained it, or improved upon it. I would kill to have that kind of success, it's like a starving man passing up a hamburger while he waits for filet mignon.

I think we've already pretty much seen what Andre Drummond has to offer, he has no mid range or free throw game to speak of, I wish JV would realize how good his midrange is for a early 20s 7 footer. JV has way more potential as an all star than Drummond and everybody around the league knows it.

Everyone around the league knows Drummond is an absolute beast and could be the next shaq. he is often rated as a top 3 young talent in the league.
Drummond was way more raw coming into the NBA which is why he dropped all the way to 9th. He will develop more, and is already contributing more than JV.
Not to say I don't like JV, but Drummond is an absolute manimal

Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

Drummond has maximized his potential so far. Much credit.
But it's way too early to make any calls on Drummond vs. JV. The red flags for a guy like Drummond at the draft - mentality, work ethic - could still derail his career, or hamper his development.
Maybe not, but he's certainly not out of the woods yet. He hasn't even learned how to shoot a basketball.
JV's development is going to be slow and steady. Nothing wrong with that. He's got a long way to go."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard
