Ranking Biggest NBA Draft Steals of the 2012-13 Season

NBA Draft Position: No. 9 Overall

Before entering his freshman year at Connecticut, Andre Drummond was thought of as a potential No. 1 overall draft pick. But after struggling to create offense or string together consecutive productive performances, scouts became unsure just how high his ceiling was.

It turns out Drummond's struggles at Connecticut were a result of the methodical style and calculated pace of the college game.

He's been productive in limited minutes for Detroit, contributing as a finisher, rebounder and shot-blocker. And his game is only going to expand.?

With unteachable size and athleticism, Drummond is a factor whether he's creating his own offense or not. What we've seen so far is his basement. Now he's hopping into the elevator on the way up to the roof.

It could be a while before he gets there, but when he does, his production will exceed No. 9 overall value.
