Grading Andre Drummond’s 2019-20 play with the Cavs thus far
Andre Drummond has not had a ton of game action with the Cleveland Cavaliers just yet, and how he can fit in is a relative uncertainty at this point. He has shown some good qualities in his play with Cleveland this season, though.
It was definitely a surprise that the Cleveland Cavaliers ended up acquiring Andre Drummond near the 2020 trade deadline in a deal with the Detroit Pistons. That at the time only was in exchange for Brandon Knight, John Henson and a future second-round pick, and those pieces were expiring.
The deal was mostly for the Pistons to offload Drummond, who has a $28.8 million player option decision coming up down the road for next season.
