One of them plays with the Dribbler & Reddikk, the other just lost KCP and has one half of the psychotic duo as a teammate, you don't think sharing a locker room with Marcus Morris isn't nerve racking?
Drum better and the Clippers would trade DeAndre in a heartbeat for him

Who was the last center to shoot below 50% TS and be an allstar

We really talking about TS% for a center?
DeAndre Jordan has a higher TS% than prime Shaq, you don't use those kind of stats for centers
DeAndre > prime Shaq. And it's not even close.We really talking about TS% for a center?

Do you have no shame? What's next you gonna insult Hakeem, if you do me and @houston911 gonna make sure you get the message - 
The next time you in your villa in the middle of Italy, little did Gil know that we riddle to middle men who didn't do diddly

Drummond shoots 52% from the field, which is fine and he has no trouble drawing fouls. The problem is when he gets to the line.
He is in a perfect positon to score efficiently. Plays near the rim, gets to the line 8 times a game(would be around maybe 6 without the hacking), and isn't told to create offense like a normal number one option.
There's a reason why Cousins shoots a higher TS% while having a much lower FG%. He gets to the line at an elite level and actually MAKES his FTs.
We've seen Drummond play as a garbage man and lob man, he has never shot above 62% FG in his career. DJ has done this his entire career(except for his 2nd season).
Again, you don't judge centers by TS% that's absolutely ridiculous IMO, Kanter shoots a higher TS% than Drummond and is on par with prime Shaq. Oh, Kanter's TS is also higher than Hakeems was
I never talk about TS%, and even if I did I would never bring it up in relation to centers.
DJ is playing with CP3 too

Kanter is a 3rd/4th option averaging 12ppg compared to Shaq's 24ppg career average(with most years being a bonafide superstar 1st option).
Shaq was a 59% TS scorer for his entire career, there is nothing wrong with that.
Why can't we use TS% for Centers?
Even on Lower volume without CP3, DJ only shot below 62% FG in his 2nd season.
Oh, so now context matters, but you're comparing a 4th year player who is functioning as a 1st option for the first time, to a garbage man in his 8th year playing with an elite table setter?
Kanter was a 2nd option in Utah, his TS% was still higher than Hakeems
You can use TS% for whatever you want, you'll almost never find me talking about it because I generally only care about raw FG% or EFG%.

Duncan has the personality and game of an awkward 67-year-old white wallflower
Hakeem is a unicorn
How dare you try to accuse me of even thinking of slandering the GOAT's name.

Let a dude chill in a Tuscany village for a few months eating olives watching NBA games and they come back on they high horse
Duncan's personality on the court is sublime and stoic, he is a murderer wrapped in a blanket of emotionless rage
I'm going to keep my eye on you to make sure you don't hate on Hakeem
Drummond would never average 12ppg on 70% FG, no matter who the starting PG is.Oh, so now context matters, but you're comparing a 4th year player who is functioning as a 1st option for the first time, to a garbage man in his 8th year playing with an elite table setter?

Kanter didn't average 23ppg for 17 seasons or demand the attention Hakeem did either. Why are you playing dumb with me?
FG% is a flawed and outdated stat, you are ignoring that players shoot FTs and 3s. Is Drummond more efficient than Curry because he has a higher FG%?
Drummond averaged 14ppg on 62% in his second year, give him CP3 and the Reddikk and he goes over 65%.
Because you're trying to compare a dude that has vastly superior teammates to someone who is just now getting to play as a 1st option, yet you're the one trying to bring up context.
FG% isn't flawed, I can look at Curry's 3pt FG% on it's own and see who is more efficient
