  Antawn Jamison?  I don't see that at all.
  Drew is much more mobile, a better rebounder, a better passer, a better 
ball-handler and a better shooter.  
He has much more of a face the basket game than Jamison ever did.  In fact,  
it was very common for him to break down his defender off the dribble, and 
this at 6'10". 
If you know anything about Roy Williams coached teams, you would know this is 
not the norm for anyone in his system, let alone a big man.  Even Paul Pierce 
didn't do a lot of one-on-one stuff until his Junior year, even though we all 
knew he was more than capable.
The fact that he allowed it from Drew, and even encouraged it speaks to Drews 
ability.  That is why many teams feel that he could play either forward 
position.
If I had to compare games, I'd say he was closer to Kevin Garnett (and 
please, don't think I'm comparing the players, I'm simply comparing their 
style of game).  With his Kansas roots, most people also compare him to Danny 
Manning -before the three ACL injuries took away his athleticism.
