Andre Drummond

Drummond is one of the most productive rebounders of his generation, a center whose value has always started on the glass. Detroit took him ninth overall in 2012, and he anchored the Pistons for most of eight seasons, earning two All-Star nods (2016, 2018) and leading the NBA in rebounding four times (2016, 2018, 2019, 2020). What sets him apart isn't leaping so much as timing, soft hands, and a genuine hunger for the offensive board — the extra possessions that quietly swing games. Since Detroit he's become a well-traveled veteran, moving through Cleveland, the Lakers, Brooklyn, Chicago and Philadelphia while staying elite on a per-minute rebounding basis. He signed with the champion Knicks for 2026-27 to backstop the frontcourt, giving them rebounding and rim presence off the bench.
