Brendan Bowers of SlamOnline.com selects UConn center Andre Drummond for the Portland Trail Blazers with the No. 6 pick in a 2012 pick-by-pick mock Draft.
------------------------------------
Through drafting Andre Drummond, Portland would now have a guy they can play at the five. LaMarcus would be firmly secure in the power forward position he’d prefer to play. The position he’s better suited for. Playing and working alongside each other could make both players better. Especially Drummond in this opportunity to learn how to be an NBA pro from one of the best there is.
They could prove to be a dynamic frontcourt one day if Drummond develops. Something that would leave Portland fans with a smile on their face, right along with Andre. A guy who’s been criticized for smiling too much, and spoke on that this week at the NBA Combine.
"I always have a smile on my face," Drummond said at the NBA Combine this week. "I don’t beat my chest, roar or show my feelings. Some people think I don’t get angry."
