How many teams would Andre Drummond start for?

In three games as a starter for Philly, Drummond is averaging 15.0 PPG (.588 TS%), 20.0 RPG, 3.8 APG ( 1.3 TOs), 4.0 SPG, 2.7 BPG.

Blows my mind that Philly gets a motivated age 28 Andre Drummond for the vet minimum.

He’s playing his next contract.

Caveat emptor.

Drummond as your starting center guarantees you to be in the lottery.

Fool's gold, after seeing him on the Lakers last year. His bball IQ is terrible.

Those TOs are surprising tho hope he keeps it up.

The Thunder are the only team I can think of and they wouldn't be interested in that for obvious reasons.

When Drummond is put in a situation that plays to his strengths he can put up incredible numbers. The problem is that so far those situations have resulted in losing teams. Maybe he can change that narrative in Philly.

Hmm

OKC Thunder
Houston Rockets
Detroit Pistons (lol)
Maybe Hawks because Capela has sucked so far
Charlotte Hornets
Mavs possibly

He literally punched a teammate(guard) in Detroit in the head for taking a rebound away from him. No franchise wants a player like that as a "leader" of their team. If he's a minimum salary backup sure a lot of teams should have interest but if anyone looks at what he is doing and even gives him $10 million per year they are getting fool's gold. For sure Drummond can rebound and when he is motivated he can be solid defensively as well.... but his effort in Detroit his last few years there was often linked to him getting enough touches on the offensive end where he was awful in the post up game but wanted 15 shots a night or he wasn't going hard on the other end.

None unless they want to tank. He’s not good. One of the dumbest players I’ve ever seen

He should've kept low profile in CLE, finish the season and sign with the first desperate team to offer him a contract based on stats.
He was exposed in LA to be worse than geriatric Marc Gasol on vet min contract.

Well I understand his value has tanked around the league. For us we need him not having Embiid for his covid related absence and quite frankly like him better then that clown Dwight Howard always playing dirty. I think anyone who needs a center but it has to be a winning situation already.

Stats show otherwise. Drummond averaged a double double with lakers, while Gasol averaged half of that amount. :lol:

That's the point, his stats are always great, but his impact on court isn't.

The Hornets and Raptors come to mind. I think starting isn't the issue here though. He's probably most effective as a bench big who plays significant minutes and his contract doesn't reflect that at all.

And still a lot of Lakers fan wanted Gasol to play instead of him.

I never understood how did he play 25 mins while Gasol got DNPs. Not that Gasol was that great, he was washed up; looked like as someone who could barely walk, but still, the team looked better w/ him on the floor.
