Detroit Pistons’ Andre Drummond will be a three-point asset in 2019-20

2) The Giannis Method

Giannis Antetokounmpo is arguably the league’s most private All-NBA player.

"“I don’t like all these flashy cities like L.A. or Miami,” Antetokounmpo told Marc Stein of The New York Times in November of 2017. “I don’t know if I could be the same player if I played in those cities.”"

Aside from hiding out in eastern Wisconsin, Antetokounmpo is famously secretive when it comes to his offseason workouts. He rarely posts his routine to social media in the way that many other players around the league do. Beyond that, Antetokounmpo avoids working out with other star players.

Although Antetokounmpo’s growth has come at both an unexpected and exponential rate that culminated in an MVP campaign last season, it would be absurd to claim that this privacy directly lends itself to improvement.

However, just because Drummond’s social media posts about his three-point workouts have dwindled, it does not mean he has abandoned improving the three-point shot. In fact, Drummond did leak one video earlier this summer that’s less-edited than last summer’s videos, shows him working with Detroit Pistons assistant coach Sean Sweeney and shows a cleaner, tighter form.

It is not hard to understand why Drummond might want to take a page out of Antetokounmpo’s book in the process of continuing to develop his three-point shot. With the regularity of posts last season, Drummond seemed to have the Pistons’ fan base ready for an immediate breakout season from behind the arc. Not only did Drummond fail to provide those expected results, but its imaginable that falling short in such a high-profile way led to a hit to his confidence and likely criticism from fans and players alike.

Drummond going off-the-grid leaves fans in the dark regarding his offseason progress toward becoming a three-point threat, but fans should not be surprised if Drummond reveals himself to be a reliable asset from deep this season.
