Andre Drummond climbed up from a previous rank of No. 53, to 46.
ESPN's Matt Williams said of Drummond at that spot: "Drummond led the NBA in rebounds per game last season, averaging 16 boards to go along with 15 PPG. He was the first player to average 15 points and 15 rebounds in a season since Kevin Love in 2011, and he is the only player in Pistons history to accomplish the feat."
Blake Griffin, however, slid from No. 24 to 33 on this go-around in the rankings.
