BY THE NUMBERS: Averaged 13.6 points and 13.8 rebounds in 29.7 minutes per game. Shot 53 percent from the field and 38.6 percent from the free-throw line.
SEASON IN REVIEW: A year after making his first All-Star game appearance, Drummond saw his numbers tick down slightly in scoring (16.2 to 13.6), rebounding (a league-leading 14.8 to 13.8) and blocked shots (1.4 to 1.1, a career low). He also played about three fewer minutes per game. Drummond finished a close second to Miami’s Hassan Whiteside (14.1) among rebounding leaders.
BEHIND THE NUMBERS: Stan Van Gundy felt Drummond made progress this season with his defense away from the basket, especially against the pick-and-roll plays that dominate NBA offenses.
