For most of his career, Andre Drummond has been known as “The Big Penguin,” but when he joined the Lakers, he said he’d like “a more aggressive nickname.”
Well, luckily enough for Drummond, Lakers assistant coach Phil Handy gave us a solid nominee. Handy told Mirin Fader of The Ringer that the team’s coaching staff has a different animal they’d like to compare Drummond to.
He just has to earn it:
The coaches want Drummond to ditch his soft-spoken, gentle nature. They want him to fully understand how big he is, and how powerful he can be.
