My Take
Andre Drummond is one of those players who makes you shake your head and smile at the same time — the guy is a legitimate force of nature at center, with some of the most jaw-dropping rebounding numbers the NBA has seen in a generation. Going ninth overall to Detroit back in 2012 out of UConn, he quickly turned into one of the most physically dominant big men in the league, leading the NBA in rebounds multiple times and making two All-Star appearances. The frustrating thing is you always felt like there was an even better version of him just out of reach, especially at the free-throw line, but when he's locked in and playing with energy, he genuinely controls a game from the paint in a way very few centers can. A Mount Vernon kid who bounced around from Detroit to Cleveland to LA to Chicago and beyond — the journeyman stretch never really dimmed that raw, explosive talent.
