Drummond has already established himself as a dominant defensive player and a standout rebounder, but his offensive game leaves a lot to be desired. Van Gundy has been impressed with the strides Drummond’s post game have already taken:
“[Drummond is] taking his time, he’s patient, he’s making good, strong moves,” Van Gundy told NBA.com. “I think that he’s been terrific down there. With him getting postups in live situations on a regular basis, I think he’ll just continue to get better and better.”
In addition to working on his foul shooting, Drummond has also been working on a “baby hook shot” and putting the ball on the floor after a rebound before trying to put the shot up.
Drummond impressed in the FIBA World Cup this summer with Team USA and the center is only 21-years old, with time to develop. If he develops sooner rather than later, the Pistons could be a far scarier team in the Eastern Conference, and could potentially contend for a playoff spot.
