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.).

Jordan still led the league in rebounding, and is a better all around defender, by a fairly large margin right now. We can say Drummond had the best ORB% in 100 years, but Jordan was still the better all around rebounder, and led the league in FG%..

Not saying either or should have a higher overall, but they should be very similar.. I could understand Drummond being a nice bump higher if the whole "value to their team" rating is how it really is.. But that makes me question if players overall changes if they move teams, or if the team adds new players, which that to me wouldn't make much sense.
