Sorry, no video of Andre Drummond flexing here.

But just like Jackson and Griffin, you can already pencil in Drummond as a guaranteed starter.

The two-time All-Star, two-time rebounding champion is coming off his best season as a pro. He posted a career-high in rebounds (16.0), assists (3.0), and free-throw shooting (60.5 percent).

Drummond’s role also expanded to a part-time facilitator last year. And by the looks of it, a mid-range game or a 3-point shot could be coming next for the big man.
