Drummond
22.6 PER - 13th in NBA
59.9 TS% on 16.7 USG% (42 FT%) - 9th in NBA for TS%
17.5 ORB% - 1st in NBA by a mile - 2nd was 14.4% from Damuel Dalembert
27.7 DRB% - 9th in NBA
2.2 AST%
2.0 STL% - elite mark for a center
4.0 BLK% - 10th in NBA

Jordan
18.2 PER
63.0 TS% on 12.4 USG% (43 FT%) - 4th in NBA for TS%
13.3 ORB% - 5th in NBA
29.3 DRB% - 4th in NBA
3.7 AST%
1.4 STL%
5.4 BLK% - 4th in NBA

They are very similar players, same strengths and weaknesses. However, Drummond had the best offensive rebounding season in 18 years, and 17th best in NBA history.

Players with better seasons
Dennis Rodman: 6
Moses Malone: 5
Jayson Williams: 2
Popeye Jones, Chris Dudley, Larry Smith: 1 each

Drummond was better than a few Rodman/Moses seasons, better than any season Hakeem, Barkley, or Reggie Evans and all other rebound specialists ever had.

Going by 2K's rating scale, Drummond would deserve 113 ORB rating. That's how good his Age 20 season was (it goes without saying that Drummond is EASILY the youngest player ever to put up those kind of ORB numbers.).
