Andre Drummond wanted to play in this year's Summer League in Orlando according to Stan Van Gundy, but he will not play.
You got to give the kid credit for his competitive spirit, but after last year's breakout campaign, he clearly doesn't need to practice/risk injury with the guys who suit up for Summer League games. Jul 4 - 1:58 PM

Andre Drummond and Kyle Singler will practice with the Pistons at Orlando Summer League.

Drummond made his presence known at Orlando Summer League last year and was easily the best player there because nobody could box him out or keep him out of the paint. Outside of his woeful shooting at the line, he's an elite fantasy asset.

Andre Drummond - F/C - Pistons

Andre Drummond has been playing games at Life Time Fitness gym this offseason.

There have been no reports of any injuries to any of his competitors. Drummond has dealt with injuries to his neck, back and ankle in his career, but he played in 81 games in his second season. He's a beast in the paint, and he just needs to work on his free throw shooting to elevate his game to the next level.

The Pistons' list of GM candidates reportedly includes former Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo and Celtics assistant GM Mike Zarren.

Detroit may opt to hire a seasoned executive to help groom Chauncey Billups as their GM of the future, but for the moment Colangelo and Zarren are believed to be "at the front of the pack."

Andre Drummond - F/C - Pistons

Andre Drummond led the NBA this season with his 5.4 offensive rebounds per game, 19.6 rebounds per 48 minutes and 6.1 contested rebounds per game.

Only DeAndre Jordan had more total rebounds per game than Drummond and it's obvious the 20-year-old big man has some ridiculous potential as a rebounder. He was also 10th in the NBA in blocks per game and was second among centers in steals per game. On the other hand, he did finish dead last among qualifiers for free throw shooting, but that's really the only knock on his game as a stat-stuffing player.

Andre Drummond - F/C - Pistons

Andre Drummond double-doubled against the Raptors on Sunday with 14 points, 17 boards, two assists, two steals and three blocks in 31 minutes.

His ability to grab contested rebounds is second to none and he's just 20 years old. Drummond's 1.24 steals per game are also a nice bonus to his statistical output while he also looks like he'll be very durable with 81 games played this season -- assuming he goes on Wednesday. He's an elite fantasy asset even with the free throw shooting woes.

Andre Drummond - F/C - Pistons

Andre Drummond was everywhere during a loss to the Bulls on Friday with 26 points, 26 boards, three steals and one block in 42 minutes.

Amazingly, he grabbed 19 boards in the first half and had some rare success against the Bulls. It's the second 20-20 game of his career and he became the first player in NBA history to have seven 20-rebound games in a season before turning 21 years old. He's one of the best young players in the NBA and he'll be going very early in fantasy drafts next season even though he's one of the worst free throw shooters.

Andre Drummond - F/C - Pistons

Andre Drummond had 19 points, 17 rebounds, two steals and two blocks in Tuesday's win over the Hawks.

His steals and blocks had really fallen off recently, so tonight's line was a welcomed sight. In fact, this was his first game with at least two steals and two blocks in the same game since way back on March 3. Drummond is only going to be better next season, with free throw shooting being the only hole in his game.
Apr 8 - 10:20 PM
Andre Drummond - F/C - Pistons

Andre Drummond recorded his 402nd offensive rebound on Saturday, which is the most offensive rebounds by any player since the 1997-98 season.

Drummond has truly put himself into elite territory this season with regards to his rebounding rate. While the Pistons have struggled to be competitive throughout the year, Drummond has not taken his foot off the gas averaging a very impressive 13.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks. Despite his horrific free throw shooting (41.8%) Drummond is arguably one of the best big men in fantasy. He's only 20 years old, so he will be a very fun player to own for years to come.

Andre Drummond dominated the paint against the Celtics on Saturday with 19 points, 20 boards and one block in 40 minutes.

He made 9-of-11 from the field to increase his season shooting to 62.2 percent. Drummond isn't really useful outside of five feet from the basket, but who cares when he's able to push around half of a team when the ball is in his hands? He's only 20 years old and is arguably the best big man in fantasy when taking free throw shooting out of the equation.

Andre Drummond - F/C - Pistons

Andre Drummond made 10-of-14 from the field against the Nets on Friday during a 116-104 loss, scoring 23 points with 18 boards, two assists and one steal in 42 minutes.

He's sitting in second place for the league lead in field goal percentage and that's where he's likely going to stay. In fact, even if Drummond hit his next 100 shots from the field, he still wouldn't be able to catch DeAndre Jordan, assuming DJ holds his percentage. Still, Drummond really blossomed this year and he's a fantasy beast outside of his terrible free throw shooting.

Andre Drummond - F/C - Pistons

Andre Drummond had just six points, 11 rebounds, and zero steals or blocks in Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers.

We're not sure what happened here, but he played 26 minutes, so the Pistons may have decided to go small to counter Matt Dellavedova's big game. The good news is that Drummond's not hurt, so expect him to bounce back against the centerless Heat on Friday.

Andre Drummond - F/C - Pistons

Andre Drummond hit 9-of-10 field goals to finish with 19 points, 14 rebounds and two steals in the Pistons' easy win over the Jazz on Monday.

Big numbers are nothing new for Drummond as he looks to improve on a top 20-30 campaign in the last few weeks of the season. Brandon Jennings hit 6-of-9 shots for 15 points, eight rebounds and three treys, Josh Smith hit 4-of-9 shots for 12 points, seven boards, two threes and a block, and Greg Monroe went for 18 and 11 with a steal in the win.

Andre Drummond had 16 points, 12 rebounds, zero steals and zero blocks in Saturday's loss.

He's back and has played in two straight games after a scary neck injury. The lack of blocks and steals is annoying, but the good news is that he looks good to go for next week.

Andre Drummond - F/C - Pistons

Andre Drummond (neck) returned to action in Friday's loss to the Suns, scoring 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting with 16 rebounds, one steal and one block over 36 minutes.

This is a solid development as neck injuries and teams that are basically out of the playoff chase don't usually mix all that well. If somebody was short-sighted enough to drop him, stop what you're doing and pick him up.
