Basically you can ask him questions, and he'll answer what he wants to.

You see an NBA player do one of these every couple weeks, and they're always just awful.

Jrue Holiday did one a day or two ago, he was on for 20 minutes and only answered a couple questions.

I'd expect Dre to be better, as he's been pretty accessible and fan-friendly, but on the whole, NBA guys are terrible on there.

T-Ross of the Raptors did one that was pretty good actually.

Yeah T-Ross was really personable. I expect similar from Dre.

Brandon Bass was bad.

I just expect downvotes and jokes about iCarly to be the top few comments and the AMA turning sour.

Damn it /r/nba, don't ruin this for me.

Did anybody get anything out of him?

Maybe we can parlay his AMA into getting him to have SVG do one down the road. His could be epic.

I'm bumping this to remind everyone that Drummond is doing this during Game 3, which is very soon. Have your questions ready.

Don't be a dick and ask him to throw any teammates/coaches/executives under the bus. No "do you hate playing with smith and jennings" "who's better moose or smoove" "do you hate Joe D" "are you bitter about that iCarly chick", please. I'd like him to stick around and actually answer questions. Don't run him off with this sort of stuff.

Mastering the hook shots, and underhand free throws. Those ideas need to get hammered in to his head.

I was trying to think of a good question to ask him, but haven't really come up with anything.

Maybe ask him if he can get the penguin to be the official Pistons mascot. :lol:

I was going to ask him about Sheed. He probably has a funny story about him.

Wasn't terrible, wasn't very good either. He only answered a couple questions and gave pretty PR friendly responses.

He did answer my question, which was nice. The AMA was pretty much what I expected, I'm glad he said he has his sights set on being an all-star next season, while working on his free throws and low post game.

Most of the questions were garbage and looked like a 12 year old asked them. They need to filter that in the future.

It's reddit. Asking to filter reddit is trying to stop the Niagara Falls.

Well said. That site is fueled on cat pictures and dumb memes.

If Joakim Noah is 1st team All NBA material, then Andre Drummond is an effing lock for the ASG next year.

don't hate on my guy noah. he was definitely deserving of all the accolades he received this season.

Noah did wonderful things on a Chicago team that is missing Derrick Rose, and I'm impressed by the assist numbers...but the inference was that 12.6/11.3 and 13.5/13.3 isn't an unfavorable comparison if you're Andre Drummond using the ~best C in the NBA~ as a measuring metric.

Raw stats, sure. But Noah was also DPOY, whereas Drummond was certainly not.

Regardless, I like Drummond's odds of making the all star team next season.
