How many games of Drummond's did you watch in high school? I seriously want to know, I saw about 10-12. He did coast (or at least looked like it) because it was so obviously easy for him. I don't think that's the same as not caring.
 
How many games did you see in college? I really hate the argument that Drummond "didn't care". He has many flaws to his game and is needs to learn a lot of skills. To say he doesn't care, that is just a horrid argument to make about Drummond. Tell me he doesn't know how to box out properly, tell me he doesn't have a post up game, tell me he can't shoot foul shots. Those are at least things based in some factual plane, not some psuedo-psychoanalysis you either have made yourself or are parroting from others who are making guesses to the fact.
 
I think that is a perfect fine argument based on precedent, I have more examples if you like. Let's go with drafting Adam Morrison before Brandon Roy and Rudy Gay. I'm just saying drafting Drummond ahead of Robinson wouldn't make one a poor GM in this draft. This is a huge crapshoot draft, even moreso than most. I personally would probably draft Robinson (depending on the team) but I wouldn't fault someone from wanting to go after Drummond. I probably would have also drafted Okafor, and that would have been a huge mistake.
