Andre Drummond is an American basketball player who plays for the Detroit Pistons. It is considered one of the most promising NBA players. This article will present his brief biography.
College
In August 2011, Andre Drummond entered the University of Connecticut. Since the hero of this article already had good experience playing at school, he was immediately taken to the local basketball team. The student championship began for Andre not very successfully. The athlete broke his nose and received a slight concussion at one of the trainings. During the season, Drummond played 34 matches, 30 of which were in the top five.
NBA
Immediately after the end of the season, Andre Drummond as a member of the student team put forward his own candidacy for the draft in the NBA. The Detroit Pistons club became interested in basketball. Joe Rumas (general manager) immediately saw in Andre a good striker who would work perfectly on the front line with Greg Monroe (the current young player). But Drummond's agent was delaying the decision, hoping for better offers from other teams. When there were none, he arranged a demonstration training for Pistons managers. As a result, at the 2012 NBA draft, the hero of this article was taken to the team and assigned him the ninth number.
Play style
Andre Drummond is a center player who is tall (211 centimeters) and has a wide arm span (229 centimeters). Thanks to such dimensions, it effectively acts on rebounds, as well as under the enemy’s ring. Many basketball players care about statistics and points scored for the game. Andre's goal in every match is to make 20 rebounds. Drummond's average for this item is 15.9 rebounds per game. A high jump and long arms allow him to set block shots. But on the other hand, Andre does not work very well with his feet, does not read well the opponent’s intentions and does not choose his position very well. Nevertheless, in the pick-and-roll, he perfectly puts up barriers and runs under the ring, opening for transmission.
Personal life
In 2013, Andre Drummond met with Jennette McCurdy. The girl is a famous actress and most of all was remembered by the audience on the TV series "iCarly." Young people met on Twitter. But their relationship ended a few weeks later, becoming a popular topic of discussion in many tabloids. The story continued six months later, when three personal photos of Jennette appeared on the Web. The girl accused Andre of the fact that it was he who posted them on the Internet, as he was the only recipient. However, the basketball player announced his non-involvement in this situation.
