It’s player ranking season as we finally near the beginning of training camp. SI has launched their top 100 list, and Slam Magazine got started on their top 50 list last week. A familiar face to Detroit Pistons’ fans appears on that list, but it’s lower than it showed up last year.
Slam ranked Andre Drummond 42nd in their top 50, down from last season’s 22nd. Slam views his rebounding favorably, but they also view his recent attempts (last season and during the Drew League and NBA Africa in particular) to incorporate a mid-range jump shot to his repertoire as a positive development.
