“With the 9th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, the Detroit Pistons select Andre Drummond from the University of Connecticut.”
Those were the words of former NBA Commissioner David Stern.
Andre Drummond and the Detroit Pistons just finished their 7th season together. The Pistons selected Drummond with the 9th overall pick in the NBA Draft in 2012.
The Pistons were happy and shocked that Drummond fell all the way down to them. His major fault and knockdown going into the NBA? His motor.
Drummond was paired up with former teammate and now 76ers rotational man Greg Monroe.
