64. <p>19.1 points per game</p> <p>18.9 rebounds per game</p> <p>53% field goal percentage</p> <p>27% total rebound percent</p>. Center. Detroit Pistons. Andre Drummond. 5. player

Andre Drummond of your Detroit Pistons remains a killer in the paint and under the basket. His numbers four weeks into the season remain spectacular, particularly on the rebounding end. At this point, Drummond is averaging 5.5 rebounds per game more than the second-place player, DeAndre Jordan of the Los Angeles Clippers.

As for total rebounds, Drummond has pulled down 208 boards, an incredible 78 more than the next highest rebounder, Kevin Love of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Drummond is also pulling in 27% of all total rebound opportunities, 5% more than Dwight Howard of the Houston Rockets is grabbing.

Drummond needs to do some work on his post game, as he is averaging just .63 points per possession when posting-up, and shooting 35.5% from the floor from the post, but he’s an unstoppable force on the offensive boards.

As for putbacks, Drummond leads the NBA in scoring off the putback with a total of 75 points, good for 1.32 points per possession. When he gets into the interior, he can’t be deterred by anything other than a hard foul.

Drummond is a force of nature now, so expect him to stay firmly lodged in or around the top-five unless something surprising develops.
