Drummond has been playing at a really high level of basketball for Detroit Pistons for a while and has continued improving each year. Last year, his rising free throw accuracy threw everyone off guard and with Griffin out injured, he was playing as the point center, showing that he can handle for the Pistons if need be.

This season, alongside a revitalised Blake Griffin, he has continued to play at a very high level. His free throw percentages are hovering at the same point and he continues to dominate the paint.

This week, he led the Pistons to 3 wins in a row, including a impressive 20 points and 24 rebound performance against the Chicago Bulls. He even kept in-form center Karl-Anthony Towns quiet and unleashed a massive 31-point, 15-rebound performance. He had a 16-point, 15-rebound show against the Chicago Bulls again, lighting them up in just 30 minutes. Look out for the Pistons if Drummond keeps playing at this really high level for them.
