Anthony Drmic v Kentucky and Julius Randle
I never said Drmic never had a work ethic early in his career. But whether he sustained it through out his career is another question. I will agree with you about him being a bit of tweener though. But he had the size to play small forward. Probably never had quickness to play guard but then again that was more of only a part time position later in his career.

I just think Frank Drmic ran out of options and decided to retire after been cut by the Dragons. I think Drmic was a little overrated- I remember they were calling him the next Andrew Gaze at 19. To be fair Drmic played down the comparison.
He improved early in his career under Goorgian after a little fan fare. It should also be noted that while he made the under 22 Gold Medal Australian team, he struggled terribly starting at the point guard paired with Sam Mackinnon starting at the guards. The team only started firing later in the tournament when they moved Sam Mackinnon to small forward and started Brendan Mann and Aaron Trahair at the one and two spots respectively- while Drmic was sent to the bench.
He never seemed to improve when he spent a long stint in Europe unlike David Andersen. I know he was cut from a couple teams that probably hurt his confidence. And he returned to the NBL became overweight at the Dragons and retired at the age of 31. Suggesting Drmic retired at his peak is laughable. From I have read on the boards he had the talent but never had the work ethic to be the player some predicted. While Chris Anstey, Sam Mackinnon and Jason Smith went from strength to strength after their tenure with the South East Melbourne Magic. Frank Drmic never really fulfilled his potential and always remains one of the great big what if's..........

Anthony was great in the first have but did apear to tire in the second. Perhaps lingering effects of his illness?
Nonetheless he is a fantastic prospect who could be on the fringe of making the NBA after a big year this year followed by an even better senior year.

I saw this game as well and thought that he did well, but his team was lacking the big presence inside needed to give him more good looks and the Kentucky freshmen are a very talented group, just too good and too big for the Broncos in this one!
