In Chet Walker(1 of Wilt's closest friends off the court)'s book "Long Time Coming"
He estimated Wilt shot 75% in clutch situations, and from what I've read in various game articles,
I'm convinced he's pretty accurate in his assertion & more important, the league has enough footage to 100% confirm this.
(I mentioned this on Quora a few months back to someone, smh yet it still wasn't good enough for him;
oh well, guess there's nothing I can do about something about that except pray for the guy.)

I haven't watched much live game action in the last 3 years; however, in reference to Drummond, I DO distinctly recall him as a Piston making 2 free throws in a game vs Phoenix to tie the game at the end of regulation & send it into overtime.
I wouldn't know offhand what his percentage would be in clutch situations either, but I'd have to imagine it's at least 65-70%.
(Maybe someone can verify this for me.)
