Andre Drummond is part of a dying breed of NBA player. He’s a true, old school center, earning his living by banging in the low post and collecting rebounds by the dozen. While other modern big men stretch the floor, Drummond rarely shoots from outside the shadow of the rim. Last season, 93.2% of his shots were from inside the paint (67.8% inside the restricted area), and he showed on Wednesday why he doesn’t like to stray too far from the key.
Early in the fourth quarter, Drummond got the ball at the top of the arc and Jonas Valanu010diu016bnas gave him all the room in the world to drive toward a spot where he could actually shoot.
