The Pistons Are Thankful For: Andre Drummond’s Potential

Entering Wednesday’s slate of games, the Detroit Pistons sit at 3-11, with a roster filled with players that just don’t fit. Even though all the pieces as a whole don’t fit, the Pistons do have one prized piece: Andre Drummond.

Drummond gives the Pistons a first rate rim-protector and rebounder (career averages of 10.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game) while also giving them a potentially devastating offensive force with his physical presence.

The young big man is the lone bright spot in what looks like a dysfunctional future, and the Pistons should be thankful to have him.
