6. Andre Drummond, Detroit Pistons

2014-2015 Stats: 13.8 points, 13.5 rebounds and 1.9 blocks

Luckily for Andre Drummond, this is not a list of the top-10 free-throw shooters. I’m just going to get this out of the way. Drummond shot 38.9% from the line. Okay, I promise that is the last time I will bring it up.

Averaging 13.5 rebounds per game, you may wonder why I only ranked Drummond at No. 6. While I am impressed that he averaged 5.3 offensive rebounds per game, his offense is still a work in progress. Drummond shot 51.4 percent from the field, but 68.2 percent of the shots he took were from 0-3 feet, which he only made 60 percent of.

Drummond has also been outstanding on defense. He’s one of the best rim protectors in the game, and hustles back on defense. If he can improve his touch around the rim, he will be a top-5 center, easily.
